I'm Carol Gedid, a registered psychologist with a Master of Applied Psychology (Clinical Psychology) from Victoria University. I've worked in diverse settings including hospitals, universities and private practice offering both therapy and psychological assessment to Individuals across the lifespan.

My approach is holistic and depth-oriented. I don't just focus on symptom relief; I work with the whole person - mind, body and soul. I believe that the struggles we experience whether they show up as anxiety, people-pleasing, disconnection, shame or burnout, are not simply problems to fix, but signals from parts of us that are asking to be heard. When we create enough safety to explore these deeper emotional wounds—at the pace your body can tolerate - real healing becomes possible.

I work from the understanding that our nervous systems are not broken; they've simply learned to protect us in ways that may no longer serve us. Through gentle attunement and connection with the different parts of yourself, we can begin to help protective patterns soften and release the burdens they've been carrying, helping the body come into greater regulation and opening up new ways of relating to ourselves and others. This kind of work doesn't just shift symptoms on the surface, it creates lasting change in how we feel, connect, and live.

I use an integrative approach informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) while drawing from Psychodynamic and Emotion Focused therapies. I also value intuitive, embodied and relational ways of working; trusting the wisdom of the body and the therapeutic relationship as powerful tools for healing.

I understand what it's like to look like you're coping on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or unseen on the inside. My personal journey has taught me the importance of slowing down, turning inward and learning to listen to myself with compassion. I'm also a mother of two, and that part of my life has deepened my respect for the complexity of human experience. Becoming a parent is one of the most transformational journeys we can go through. It brings joy, challenge, identity shifts and emotional intensity. It's shown me how vital it is to support people in honouring their needs, reconnecting with themselves, and navigating change with care rather than pressure.

At its core, my work is about creating a space where you can slow down, feel safe to be real, and explore what lies beneath the surface. I hope to support you in coming into deeper connection with who you are and what truly matters to you.
