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.

Giving Back

All profits from my mindfulness and compassion courses are offered to support the charitable work of my teacher, Panchen Otrul Rinpoche. In particular, they help fund ASRAL, the Hot Meal Project for children, and support for their single mothers.

For me, this is a natural extension of the practice itself: compassion in action. By joining a course, you’re also helping to bring care and practical support to those who need it most.
