Catriona Lightfoot is an accredited Social Worker with 20 years experience of working with families and communities in crisis to uncover their strengths and help them achieve their goals. She brings to her work a passion and enthusiasm for change that is contagious. She knows how hard it is to really change patterns of behaviour that have been ingrained in us since birth but also understands what is possible when even small changes are made and as such, endeavours to instill hope in clients that anything really is possible, while providing them with the support and skills to get there. She lives and breathes the belief that you can have everything you want from any of your relationships if you focus on it and are willing to do the work to get there.
Whilst working with relationships in crisis is a large part of her work, Catriona believes strongly that prevention is better than cure and offers programs and workshops to develop and improve relationship skills for all ages.
Catriona is a daughter, sister, partner, mother, step-mother, friend, neighbour and colleague (in no particular order!). She also runs and contributes to a number of community groups and understands that any of these relationships has the potential to cause problems from time to time. When things aren’t working the way we would like, this provides an ideal opportunity to learn how to do things differently.
As a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers, Catriona adheres to it’s standards for professional practice. She engages continually in professional development to enhance her skills and stay at the forefront of the theory and practice as it relates to strengthening individuals and couples and their relationships. In her practice with individuals, couples and groups she uses a mix of complimentary evidence based theoretical perspectives including Gottman Method Couples Therapy; Imago couples therapy; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy among others, all underpinned by a perspective that focusses on strengths infused with spirituality and a sense of fun.
I look forward to helping you achieve your relationship goals and dreams.
Catriona
