Book an Appointment at Safer Spaces - An Intersectional Therapy Collective
Kat Bayang
(She/Her/Hers)
I’m Kat, a dedicated parent of three with a profound passion for perinatal mental health. Having transitioned from midwifery, I am now a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). My extensive experience—over 10 years in perinatal health care and peer support—shapes my practice, which is rooted in anti-oppressive, inclusive, and culturally safe mental health approaches.
Drawing from Filipinx Liberation Psychology, I emphasize the importance of connectedness and shared humanity for a harmonious life. I am committed to providing a supportive, collaborative, and brave space where you can navigate the complexities of perinatal transitions and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
My areas of focus include: relational dynamics and disconnection, obstetric violence, birth trauma, racism and discrimination, grief and loss, blending families, sex and pleasure, and raising interracial children. Overall, I hope to help you reconnect with your embodied wisdom, restore trust in your innate ability to parent yourself, your children and/or your wider community.
Your story is important, and I am eager to understand where you are, the challenges you face, and the future you envision. It would be an honour to support you on this journey.

As a queer, trans, and neurodivergent therapist, I understand how hard it can be to find a therapist who understands what members of our communities go through. Instead of trying to change your authentic self to fit societal norms, we can work towards your individual goals, whatever your goals may be.

Life can be challenging and isolating, especially when parts of ourselves do not align with what is expected or deemed normal. My journey towards therapy started when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that left me searching for compassion, meaning, and community. As a result, I have committed my practice to offering a safe space where people feel heard, supported, and valued.
I hold a Master’s in Health Studies that provided me with a unique perspective of the medical system and power structures that shape how we experience physical and emotional wellbeing. Having a Master’s in Educational Counselling has provided me with the tools to help clients challenge the beliefs that don’t serve them and instead connect with their truth and strength. I meet clients with an integrative approach that draws from Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. These modalities create space for people to make meaningful change, tap into their resilience, and find sustained relief.

It is my belief that the most meaningful therapy is grounded in collaboration, trust, and the client-therapist rapport. I strive to maintain a practice that is authentic, transparent, and honours the courage it takes to arrive in therapy. My approach is integrative and often draws from both person-centred and narrative methodologies as well as my lived experience as a queer, neurodiverse, and transgender person. I strive to create a warm and inclusive space that fosters collaboration, discussion and self-exploration.

I take a trauma- and social justice-informed approach that allows me to consider the impacts of the systems your stories exist within. My ability to think relationally and systemically using a post-modern lens allows me to see each client as a whole person and not just a problem to be “fixed” or defined by one narrative.

Trauma can shape so much of our lives including our relationships, body image and beliefs. Maybe you don’t feel like the world is a safe place for you, or you are struggling with self blame. In the aftermath, you may feel disconnected from yourself and your identity, or feel overwhelmed by your emotions. If you feel like there is no way out, know that change is still possible. As difficult as this is, I am here to offer my unwavering support to help you build the skills, knowledge and safety you need. My goal is for you to feel truly understood, seen and empowered to build a life you want to live.
