Welcome, I’m Kati Simpson.

I’m a Clinical Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor based in Ireland, and I also lecture and lead trainings in mindfulness and psychotherapy.

Born and raised in Brazil, with Japanese roots, I moved to Japan at 17 and lived there for seven years. Ireland has been my home for more than two decades. Life between three cultures has given me a deep interest in belonging, identity, and the ancestral threads we all carry.

In my work, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, shaped to each person, with a particular interest in psychodynamic therapy and the ways our past and unconscious patterns shape our lives today. I am an accredited member of the IACP as both psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, and I work within its code of ethics and practice. As a mindfulness teacher and supervisor, I follow the BAMBA good practice guidelines.
