Kelly Redhead

Kelly is a compassionate and experienced psychologist with over two decades of practice across diverse mental health settings in both the UK and Australia. Her work is grounded in the belief that healing occurs when we are met with presence, compassion, and deep respect for the whole person — mind, body, heart, and spirit. She values kindness, creativity, curiosity, and meaning as essential pathways to transformation.

As a mother of three teenagers, including twins, Kelly understands the complexity of life’s seasons and the ways joy and suffering often coexist. Through her own experiences of loss, trauma, and mental health challenges, she has come to know that healing is not about “fixing” ourselves, but about remembering, reconnecting, and coming home to who we truly are. This lived wisdom allows her to meet clients with humility and authenticity, honouring each person as the expert in their own inner world. Kelly walks alongside you as a steady, compassionate guide as you navigate your inner and outer landscapes.

Kelly is deeply committed to ongoing personal, professional, and spiritual growth. Her background spans community mental health, integrative and alternative therapies, and a wide range of supportive roles including case management, cancer support, NDIS coordination, and group facilitation. She has facilitated mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), yoga for mental health, and perinatal and postpartum playgroups, and has supervised teams of outreach mental health workers.

Kelly is trained in the “black and white,” yet consciously practices in the “grey” — the liminal space where emotional truth, nervous system healing, meaning-making, and spiritual insight meet.

She offers a warm, grounded, and sacred therapeutic space where all parts of you are welcome. This includes the wounded parts, protective parts, inner child parts, and the deeper Self that holds wisdom, compassion, and clarity. Kelly recognises that for many people, spirituality — whether expressed through faith, nature, intuition, energy, inner knowing, or a sense of connection to something greater — is central to healing, integration, and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches

Kelly’s approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and spiritually integrative. She draws from evidence-based and depth-oriented modalities including:

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, attachment wounds, and nervous system repair

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed practices, supporting compassionate relationships with parts and strengthening access to Self-energy

• Somatic-based therapies to support embodied awareness and regulation

• Mindfulness-based approaches, including MBSR

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where appropriate

• Energy psychology approaches, including Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

• Spiritually-informed practices that honour intuition, values, meaning, and the client’s unique spiritual or existential framework

Kelly views healing as a multidimensional process — cognitive, emotional, relational, embodied, and spiritual. Therapy is a collaborative space to gently explore what has been held, what longs to be seen, and what is ready to be released or integrated.

Kelly has a particular interest in supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, perimenopause, identity shifts, and major life transitions — especially when there is a longing for deeper meaning, reconnection, and wholeness.

She is devoted to walking alongside you as you reconnect with your inner wisdom, cultivate self-leadership, and move toward greater peace, purpose, and embodied presence in your life.
