Katrina Harrison is a Genetic Counsellor based in West Leederville, WA. She works from Suite 2, 2 McCourt Street, West Leederville WA 6007.
Genetic counselling can be a big help when family health history raises questions. Katrina looks at how inherited conditions may run in families, and she explains what that can mean in everyday terms. It’s often about bringing clarity to confusing results, or helping people make sense of why certain conditions may be seen across generations.
Her appointments usually focus on family medical history. This can include information about relatives, health patterns, and any known diagnoses. Over time, that story helps shape the next steps. Katrina also spends time discussing genetic testing options, including what tests can and can’t tell you. At times, it can be about reducing worry and at other times it can be about preparing for possible outcomes.
Genetic testing isn’t always simple, and decisions can feel heavy. Katrina provides clear information and support for decision-making. She helps people understand different testing pathways, including how results may affect medical care, family planning, or choices for other relatives. The goal is to make sure you have enough information to feel comfortable with what you decide next.
In many cases, she supports people who are dealing with concerns about an inherited condition. This can include worries during pregnancy, planning after a new diagnosis, or checking risk when there is a strong family history. Genetic counselling can also be useful when someone has had personal health findings and wants to understand whether genetics may be part of the picture.
Katrina’s training centres on genetic counselling, with a focus on patient support and clear communication. She aims to make genetics feel less scary and more understandable, without rushing things.
If you’re considering genetic testing or you’re trying to work out what family history might mean, a consultation with Katrina can be a practical first step. She takes the time to explain options, answer questions, and help you move forward with a plan that fits your situation.
