Why Choose Living Consciously near Seaforth?
✔ Trusted Local Presence
Based just a short drive away in Dee Why, Living Consciously has worked with many individuals and couples in Seaforth over the past 10 years. We understand the rhythms and pressures of life in this close-knit, coastal suburb—whether you’re parenting, commuting, or navigating life transitions.
✔ Holistic, Trauma-Informed Approach
Led by Wendy, a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist, we blend psychotherapy with mindfulness and body-based (somatic) practices, giving you access to deeper healing.
✔ Local Knowledge
From helping families coping with career stress to individuals managing life transitions near local Seaforth landmarks like Bantry Bay or Seaforth Oval, our therapy is informed by the local culture, environment, and community pace.
✔ No Referral Needed
Wendy is a Nurse Practitioner and can offer self-referral access to Medicare rebates—something many psychologists can’t provide. This means a more flexible, direct path to support when you need it most.
What Is Somatic Psychotherapy?
Somatic psychotherapy is a powerful, body-centred approach to mental health care. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses solely on thoughts and emotions, somatic therapy works with the connection between mind, body, and nervous system. It recognises that trauma, stress, and emotional pain often live in the body as much as in the mind—and supports healing at both levels.
At Living Consciously, we integrate somatic psychotherapy to help Seaforth clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Many people come to us after finding that conventional therapy didn’t fully resolve the deeper layers of their distress.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Starting therapy can feel daunting—but at Living Consciously, we aim to make your first step feel safe and supported. During your initial session, Wendy will guide a relaxed conversation focused on understanding your concerns, history, and goals. There’s no pressure to open up immediately—this is a space where you set the pace. You’ll get a feel for our somatic and psychotherapeutic approach, and we’ll outline a gentle path forward tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re new to counselling or returning after time away, you’ll be welcomed with compassion and confidentiality.
🗓️ You can also choose a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re the right fit before committing to a full session.
