About
Katrina Czerkies is an AHPRA-registered psychologist with twenty years of experience working in forensic psychological practice. She provides individual assessment and intervention services for people who find themselves engaging in harmful behaviours or navigating difficult situations. Her background in the public service informs a careful, structured approach to risk, assessment, and behaviour change.
Katrina made a transition into independent practice after two decades in the public sector and continues to bring that specialised knowledge to her work. She rejects a one-size-fits-all approach, emphasising choice, dignity, and accountability when collaborating with individuals. Katrina holds that behaviour reflects coping patterns rather than defining a person.
Her focus includes stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and coping with life changes, alongside a range of related concerns such as impulsivity, communication difficulties, substance and process addictions, and issues common to first responders and veterans. Katrina aims to support people as they seek safer, healthier, and more meaningful ways of living through assessment-informed intervention and practical, person-centered support.

Remote assessment and intervention
Katrina offers online assessment and intervention that reflect her forensic psychological background and emphasis on individualised care. Her profile highlights two core strands of work: formal individual assessment and tailored intervention. Assessment is used to clarify patterns of behaviour, risk-related factors, and practical needs. Intervention focuses on helping individuals learn alternatives to harmful behaviours and build coping strategies that align with their values.
She approaches online work as a collaborative process that values choice, dignity, and accountability. Katrina seeks to work alongside people who are ready to explore how their behaviour developed and to consider steps toward safer and healthier living. This fit may appeal to those who prefer structured appraisal followed by goal-focused support.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how individuals engage. Katrina’s online practice uses these communication options to deliver assessment, feedback, and ongoing intervention while maintaining professional standards consistent with her training and experience.
