Kathryn Riordan is a psychologist and forensic psychologist based in Mount Lawley, WA. She works from Unit 4, 800 Beaufort Street, at the corner of Fourth Avenue. The setting is calm and practical, and the focus is on getting things clearer and more workable for day-to-day life.
Kathryn looks after people of many backgrounds who want help with personal and family challenges. This can include anxiety and stress, relationship issues, and situations where behaviour and routines are hard to manage. At times, clients are also dealing with more complex matters that need a careful, structured approach, which is where the forensic side of her work can be helpful.
In many cases, therapy starts with understanding what’s going on and what the person or family wants to change. Kathryn offers individual therapy sessions, couples counselling, and family therapy. The goal isn’t to push quick fixes. It’s more about working through patterns, making room for better communication, and building skills that hold up in real life.
She also does behavioural assessments. These can be useful when you need a clearer picture of how behaviours are showing up, what might be driving them, and what steps could help next. Over time, Kathryn uses what she finds to guide practical recommendations and support for change, rather than just focusing on the problem in isolation.
Her experience comes from working across individual, couples, and family support, along with behavioural assessment work. That mix matters, because people rarely live in “one problem only” bubbles. Most concerns show up across relationships, routines, and home life.
In terms of education, Kathryn’s training is in psychology, with ongoing professional learning to keep her practice up to date. If you’re looking for support that’s steady, grounded, and tailored to your situation, Kathryn can help you sort through what’s going on and take the next step, one bit at a time.
