About Cate:
Founder and Clinical Director
BSW, Grad.Dip.Div, AMHSW, Cert IV TAE
Cate Moore is a clinician, writer, teacher and cultural architect working at the meeting place of psychology, consciousness, ancient wisdom and emerging futures.
For more than 25 years, she has been fascinated by one enormous question:
What actually allows a human being to become more fully themselves?
That question has taken her through clinical practice, trauma work, social work, theology, mysticism, leadership, systems thinking, family constellations, symbolic traditions and the strange, beautiful terrain where science and spirituality occasionally discover they have been describing the same mystery from opposite sides of the room.
Along the way, Cate became increasingly interested not only in how people heal, but in the structures that shape human consciousness in the first place — our families, institutions, relationships, belief systems, cultures and inherited ideas about what a human being is allowed to be.
Her work now sits at that threshold.
She explores how ancient maps of human transformation can be brought into intelligent conversation with psychology, contemporary science and the challenges of modern life — not as nostalgic spirituality, but as living technologies for meaning, relationship, leadership and cultural change.
Cate is the creator of the Integrated Triadic Convergence (ITC) Model, an integrative framework developed through decades of clinical practice and interdisciplinary study. Her wider body of work explores ontological intelligence, symbolic architecture, consciousness, right-relationship and the possibility that many of the systems we have inherited are not broken so much as built upon assumptions about humanity that we are finally ready to outgrow.
She is particularly interested in what happens between worlds: between evidence and mystery, intellect and intuition, psyche and system, ancient knowledge and future technology, the sacred and the gloriously ordinary.
Because for all her fascination with consciousness, Cate has very little interest in transcending being human.
Quite the opposite.
She is increasingly convinced that the whole magnificent experiment may be about becoming more human, not less.
These days, when she isn't writing, teaching, disappearing down improbable research rabbit holes or attempting to map the ancient tunnel system in a 13th century monastery before lunch, she can usually be found reading something esoteric, painting, adventuring with some of the four adolescent wildlings she gets to be troupe-leader for from time to time, cuddling her Golden Retriever, or traipsing through the forest like a feral fairy with her man.
She has spent much of her life learning how to descend into the underworld. She can help you build your own map out of the inner abyss, if you need a skilful guide. But the truth is, these days, she is considerably more interested in what happens when we come back up carrying fire — and remember to have a really good time while we're here.
