For the overthinkers, deep feelers, and people figuring it out as they go.
Hi there, I’m Kate!
Kate Kemp. She/her; MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker & Therapist
I’m a clinical therapist and Registered Social Worker offering OCD and anxiety counselling for teens (16+) and adults in Kelowna, BC and across British Columbia through virtual sessions. I understand how exhausting it can feel to live with constant worry, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, panic, or the feeling that your mind never fully “shuts off.” Many people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or anxiety spend years feeling misunderstood, stuck in cycles of reassurance-seeking, overthinking, avoidance, or self-doubt before reaching out for support.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I believe therapy should feel human. Alongside practical strategies and education about how OCD, anxiety, and the nervous system work, I focus on creating a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported. Whether you’re navigating intrusive thoughts, phobias, relationship stress, perfectionism, burnout, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and confidence in yourself again.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It’s a chance for you to ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and determine whether this feels like the right fit for you.
Clients I work with experience these concerns.

Adult Counselling (50 and 80 minute sessions)
Virtual and In-person
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a little extra support to navigate through the ups and downs. One-on-one therapy sessions are designed to provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. We’ll collaboratively explore the factors influencing your current stressors while establish realistic goals and create a roadmap to guide your journey.
