Many of my clients are children and teens who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, or challenges at school. Parents often come to me seeking answers, support, and a plan to help their child feel more regulated, understood, and connected. These families want someone who truly “gets it”—who can balance professional skill with warmth and care.

Psychologist, PsyBA General

Essendon, VIC 3040
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I get it. You're not alone if you're feeling nervous or unsure about what to expect. My approach is gentle, warm, and focused on meeting you where you are. I love working with people who are new to therapy and want to explore themselves in a way that feels personal and real. Together, we’ll create a safe space to understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a way that makes sense to you, not based on a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m here to walk it with you, at your pace.

Carol Gedid
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Essendon, VIC 3040
If you’re feeling anxious, burned out, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to think your way out of, there’s likely a good reason. I don’t see these struggles as flaws to fix, but as intelligent responses shaped by your history. My work is trauma-informed, holistic, and deeply explorative. Together, we create enough safety to gently understand what your system has learned to do to survive and what it might need now. I believe our nervous systems aren’t broken; they’ve been protecting us. When we listen at a pace your body can tolerate, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.

I help people understand and work through deeply-rooted patterns, and reconnect with their values, strengths, and sense of self. I'm very passionate about authenticity and what it means to live in a way that feels true to who you are. This means looking at the whole picture - how you relate to the world and others, and how you relate to yourself.

I can understand that for many taking those first steps to seek professional help it can be quite daunting. I am mindful of the need therefore to set people at ease from the outset. I accommodate what differing clients are looking for from a psychologist ranging from finding solutions and learning strategies to process-oriented approaches that provide the opportunity to safely explore, understand, and heal the emotional pain that often underlies psychological stress and problematic behaviour.

With a mental health care plan from your GP, you can receive Medicare rebates of $98
Do you find yourself overthinking, feeling guilty when you try to set boundaries, or caught in repeating patterns that leave you feeling drained and burnt out? I work with young women who are highly self-aware, yet still find it hard to break out of these cycles. It can feel confusing and frustrating, like insight alone isn’t enough to create change. I offer a warm, and safe space, where we can gently explore what’s beneath this and help you feel more grounded, clear, and able to show up in your life with more confidence and internal trust.
