About Second Nature Psychology
ABOUT
Kate grew up on a dairy and sheep and beef farm in the Tasman district south of Nelson. She studied undergraduate Psychology at The University of Canterbury and then postgraduate at Massey University before graduating as a Clinical Psychologist in 2018. Kate worked in community settings until she started her private practice in 2021. For the last five years, Kate has specialised in rural mental as her own involvement in farming and rural communities strengthened. She is driven and passionate in her goal to make psychology more accessible to rural communities.
Early in 2026, Kate, her partner, and their young daughter purchased their first sheep and beef farm in Kimbolton. They run a full and busy lifestyle, and Kate continues to weave her passion for farming and psychology together as she understands the pressures and stressors of farming. She is down to earth in her approach, open and honest, relatable, and can break psychological concepts down into manageable and achievable steps.
