Kendall Felix

Senior Clinical Psychologist

Interest Areas 

I am an experienced clinical psychologist and have worked for over 15 years in the area of mental health in a variety of roles. I currently work predominately with adults and older adolescents. I use a gentle, compassionate yet proactive approach in working together in the journey to improving wellbeing and reducing distress for those I work with. 

My professional experience has enabled me to create a rich platform, philosophy and therapeutic evidence-base in my approach – that we all have unique worth and whilst working on individual therapy needs, we are existing within our own histories and families, and within a wider social and world context where connection and being genuinely understood are vital for thriving and for goal-directed personal change. 

The therapeutic approaches I draw from are: cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT), interpersonal psychotherapy and schema therapy, as well as utilising body and brain-based stress reduction strategies, tailored to the individual. I have also previously provided collaborative and systemic therapy with families and young children drawing from attachment and relational neurodevelopment frameworks. This has included with people dealing with chronic and complex trauma, ADHD, and with Autistic people. I have presented and published in the area of adult trauma (veteran population). 
 
I welcome and can provide therapy for all major areas of need including general and severe anxiety and depression, panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts and worry, anger issues, grief and loss, trauma, adjustment issues, social anxiety, low mood/motivation. I am particularly committed to providing an inclusive and safe therapeutic space for people in the LGBTQIA+ community and a space in which to appreciate the challenges, strengths and needs that neurodivergence brings for Autistic and ADHD adults. I respect that I provide therapy on Kaurna land. 
 
I provide clinical supervision to a number of psychologists at Willow Tree Psychology and Wellbeing.
