Psychologists in Sydney– Kelli Bradicich (Counselling psychologist)

Kelli Bradicich is a Psychologist in Sydney: My mission as a counselling psychologist is to assist people to approach life’s gifts and challenges with awareness and calm.I am here to help you to gain clarity about the life you most want to live and find the strategies most suited to make it happen.My practice is philosophy driven. You bring the expertise of your life. It is my job to stay curious, to listen to what is working and find out how you overcome challenges, all the while discovering ways to increase your understanding of self and awareness of the ways you relate to others. I believe strongly in building on what you know and what already works while seeing where new ideas might fit with your thinking.

The approach is practical and can be amplified by accessing the subconscious using hypnosis and creative visualisation.

Awareness and Calm: Kelli BradicichTuesday, February 24th, 2026 at 6:11am

Shifting our ‘why’ to ‘what is happening’ may be more likely to show up our patterns. It takes the thinking out of the theory into the fact.

For instance, when someone is struggling with something the other is doing in the relationship and they stay connected to the person they have difficulty with but also go over and above to serve them and make them happy in order to keep the relationship peaceful - this could be a sign of Overfunctioning to manage stress in the system. It is likely they ate goving up self withing the relationship.

In the same boat the other person may use distance. Both are emotional processes aiming to regulate.

Watching who does what can be beneficial in giving more information than the why.

An overfuntioner is likely to want to find out the why or justify in order to remove the distance. An underfunctioner can use the distance in the form of cut off as punishment to get the system back into the old ways swinging back in their favour.

Holding a position may be more likely to make a healthier change in the long term. It may or may not recalibrate the system and reconnect it. But it might in time increase the sense of self in the one doing the thinking of the ‘what’ and working with the process. This kind of work has risks one way or another and it requires enormous thinking.

Awareness and Calm: Kelli BradicichMonday, February 23rd, 2026 at 6:51am

Looking for peace in amongst the challenges can be beneficial when facing difficult times. The diffuculty isn’t happening in every moment unless of course our thoughts keep taking us into it in a loop. This may be important to help process it. But after a time the looping thoughts serve to mess with our well being.

We can take moments to sit and process our thoughts more actively through journalling and therapeutic letter writing or reading or listening to some wisdom or talking to someone who can help to work through the thoughts with us.

We can be accepting of what is happening even if we don’t like it and be at peace with our action plan.
