When something keeps getting in the way
You might be experiencing anxiety, low mood or emotional overwhelm without really understanding why. Or perhaps you notice the same reactions, relationship patterns or ways of coping repeating, even when part of you knows how you want to respond.
You may find yourself constantly caring for others, taking on too much responsibility, people-pleasing or putting your own needs aside.
Sometimes we don’t understand why these patterns are there. Other times, we understand them intellectually, but knowing why hasn’t been enough to change how we feel or respond.
Therapy can help you explore what’s happening beneath the surface, process what has kept these patterns in place, and create space for something different.
My approach is trauma-informed, recognising that many of the ways we think, feel and respond may have developed in response to our earlier experiences. Rather than focusing only on changing these patterns, we seek to understand what has shaped them and why they may continue.

Carol GedidAbout Carol
I’m Carol Gedid, a Registered Psychologist based in Essendon.
My approach is collaborative, authentic and honest. I help you understand not only what you’re experiencing, but what may be sitting beneath it — and why certain patterns, emotions or ways of responding keep showing up.
Together, we explore these difficulties in the context of your experiences, relationships and the ways you’ve learned to cope, creating space for greater self-understanding and meaningful change.
If you’re interested in working together, you’re welcome to get in touch.
