Brenda Rowlandson - Somatic Psychotherapist 70 Bronte Road, Bondi Junction, New South Wales 2022

Welcome to Brenda Rowlandson - Somatic Psychotherapist, a trusted institution located in Bondi Junction, Australia. At our establishment, we understand the importance of emotions and the capacity to feel, as it is what makes us truly human. As Mary Gordon, the author of Roots of Empathy: Changing the World Child by Child, beautifully expressed, our aspiration should not simply be to "feel good," but rather to be "good at feeling."

As a certified counsellor and holder of a Graduate Diploma of Psychotherapy (Somatic), I have been in full-time practice since 1994, primarily working with adult individuals aged 18 years and above. My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative, ensuring that our sessions are focused on your specific reasons for seeking help, without any other hidden agendas.

Drawing from my own personal therapy experiences, I am able to empathize with the challenges and struggles faced by clients in therapy. I understand the impact of difficult and vulnerable emotions, as well as the shock of life-altering events. This deep understanding allows me to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore and heal.

Theoretical foundations of my work incorporate a range of contemporary modalities, with a strong emphasis on somatics, the interconnectedness of the body and mind. I also incorporate elements of emotional regulation, mindful awareness, attachment theory, and the latest research on neurobiology and brain plasticity. This diverse range of theories and concepts will help us make sense of your past experiences and shed light on any patterns that may be causing difficulties in your relationships, whether it be with your life-partner, friends, family, or co-workers.

As a certified counsellor with a Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy, a member of MIARPP, and registered with PACFA (Clinical), you can be assured of the highest standards of professionalism and ethical practice.
