Ms Kelsey Hendrickson

Psychotherapist

“I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist who works with a somatic (embodiment) and wholistic orientation. I have a special interest working with people going through a big life change that has rocked their sense of themselves and their identity.”

About Me

Navigating life's profound changes, becoming a parent, a relationship breakdown, a job loss etc., can feel overwhelming. As an Gestalt Psychotherapist, I offer a gentle space to explore these experiences and how they may have changed your sense of self. We can work together, using embodiment and mindfulness, to help you connect with your inner resources. My aim is to support you in processing difficult emotions and finding a path towards greater stability and peace.

Approach

Rooted in an embodiment-focused, whole-person lens, I guide sessions that slow things down so you can notice patterns in your body, breath and boundaries and gently experiment with new ways of responding. In my Sydney consulting room and via secure online sessions in English, I pair grounding somatic practices with reflective dialogue, and often offer small practices between meetings to build steadiness. This approach suits adults navigating identity-shifts, fertility-related challenges or major life transitions who want practical, felt change rather than only talking about it.
