Dr Kathryn Esparza is a Clinical Psychologist, Board-Approved Supervisor, and Lecturer in Psychology. She completed her PhD at the University of Queensland and her Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Australian Catholic University. Kathryn is known for her warm, approachable style and for creating a safe, collaborative space where clients feel understood and actively involved in therapy.
Kathryn works primarily with children and their families, supporting emotional and behavioural concerns and helping parents build confidence in responding to their child’s needs. Alongside her clinical work, she lectures in postgraduate psychology programs and provides supervision to provisional and clinical registrar psychologists.
Her primary areas of treatment focus include child emotional and behavioural difficulties, school- and home-based behaviour support, parenting and parenting-related stress, and adjustment to developmental periods or significant life changes. Kathryn is deeply committed to strengthening family relationships and supporting parents to feel confident and equipped in responding to their child’s needs.
Kathryn takes a highly collaborative approach, placing emphasis on delivering practical, meaningful, outcomes-focused care. When working with younger clients, this may include working closely with parents, schools, and other health professionals to ensure consistent and effective support. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) alongside evidence-based parenting approaches. She adapts evidence-based strategies in creative, developmentally appropriate ways to engage younger children.
