Welcome
I’m Katelyn, a registered psychologist and the owner of Playfully Curious Psychology. For over 3 years I have been working with children (aged 2 & older), caregivers, and adults with mental health and life challenges in greater Darwin area. I work collaboratively with clients to help them address their personal challenges using an evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming approach.
I was born and raised in Tasmania/Lutruwita on Palawa country but have been proud to call Darwin/Gulmerrogin on Larrakia country home for over a decade.
