Kellie Sheldon - Trauma and Sex Counsellor

Kellie Sheldon - Trauma and Sex Counsellor I know what you want more than anything right now is healthy relationships, attachments and sexual freedom to be who you are. You can make changes.

🫠Still feeling stuck after trauma?

🌷Therapy for childhood & sexual trauma survivors
🫶🏼Helping your body & mind feel safe again - EMDR & parts work
📍 2 locations in Perth,online across Australia
🪴 A place to understand trauma & take back your life. For that to happen, though, you need a safe space filled with empathy where judgement and shame cannot survive. The problem is trusting somebody to be that individual with whom you can explore and discuss your true self without fear of being shamed, judged, or misunderstood, this makes you feel like something is wrong with you, and you are a lost cause. I believe unconscious patterns are the driving force behind troubled relationships, attachments and sexual concerns. We know patterns come from trauma, family secrets and lies, and parenting styles. I understand it's scary and exhausting to look inside and make changes. However, I know you are resilient, brave, and full of hope. That's why I sit with you during your time of pain, and confusion and help you understand life and yourself, as a whole, not just parts. We will draw your family tree, look into your lifeline and explore your memories. We will look at your future, past and present to gain a complete picture of who you are - and all at your own pace. Here's how it works: we start by getting comfortable with each other, explore your past, set goals for change and understanding, and then work together to achieve them in an open, authentic, and protected environment. So, take the most challenging step and connect with me today, book an appointment, or simply call. You can stop feeling alone and confused, start being who you want to be, live a life of joy, and have successful relationships. I am a University qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with a special interest in relationships, attachment styles, family of origin, trauma, inner child work, and sexuality. I also work within the scope of anxiety, depression, loss, and grief. I am a member of The Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

Does anyone else feel like they’re learning everything backward? Starting from scratch at 50 and honestly, it’s exhausting and hopeful at the same time.

Sound familiar? Words similar to these were spoken to me this week.

Life has thrown rocks, but they can become pebbles.

Ever had one of those days where you’re just stuck?

You know you need to move -
do the dishes, answer that message, take a shower - but you just… can’t.

And then comes the self-talk:
🔹 Why am I so lazy?
🔹 I just need to get up and do it.
🔹 What is wrong with me?

Im going to keep reminding you - this isn’t laziness. It’s functional freeze.

When your nervous system is overwhelmed, it can hit the brakes on everything - motivation, energy, even basic movement. Your brain isn’t being ‘lazy’; it’s in survival mode.

🚨 You’re not resting - you’re shutting down.

🚨 You’re not unmotivated - you’re overwhelmed.

🚨 You’re not failing - your body just doesn’t feel safe enough to move.

So if you’re stuck on the couch, frustrated with yourself, try this:

✨ Instead of forcing yourself to move, focus on safety first.

✨Wiggle your fingers.

✨Take a sip of water.

✨Notice your surroundings.

Tiny steps tell your body it’s okay to unfreeze.

💬 Ever felt like this? You’re not alone - what are your best tricks for getting moving?

You: “Uhh… pass?”

Your therapist: 🪄✨

Magically waits in silence until you spill your deepest emotions ✨🪄

There’s something about that question that makes your brain short-circuit. One second, you’re vibing, the next, you’re rethinking every life decision. And somehow, they know exactly when to stay quiet so the awkward silence forces you to talk.

Therapists: 1️⃣
Your emotional walls: 0️⃣

Psssst…. You know if feels good to talk about it. 😁🌷

Every morning, you wake up and face it again.

The same heaviness, the same thoughts, the same battles that left you feeling exhausted just yesterday.

And yet, here you are! 💛

Even when it feels like nothing has changed, and even when the weight of the past feels unbearable.

That, my love, is bravery.

Bravery isn’t loud or flashy. It’s not always about feeling strong. Sometimes, it’s as simple as taking a deep breath and trying again.

You don’t give yourself enough credit for this, but you deserve to.

Let this be your reminder: waking up, showing up, and fighting through is MORE THAN ENOUGH! 💪🏼

If this speaks to you, share it with someone who might need the reminder. ✨

No one ever taught you that s3x was yours, too.

You’ve been told it’s just:

❌ A confidence issue
❌ Low libido
❌ Not being “into” your partner enough

Your partner shamed you, you’ve had too many conversations and fights because of it..

But what if it’s none of those things?

What if you were never taught that s3x was for you, too?

Because when you grew up believing:

📌 That s3x was something you give, not want

📌 That saying yes was expected, but asking for it was shameful

📌 That your body wasn’t yours to claim…

📌 Men are supposed to pursue, women are supposed to allow.

📌 Saying no is rude, but asking for it makes you “too much

Then how are you supposed to know how to initiate?

This isn’t about low desire. It’s about survival AND conditioning!!

💬 If this just explained something you’ve always struggled with, let’s talk about it.

What if I told you that pushing through intimate moments when your body is begging you to stop is hurting you, but it’s also hurt that you learnt to carry..

You didn’t make that up. You learnt it when you were very young, in a world where saying “stop” didn’t change anything. So you trained yourself to ignore the signals in your body, because the outcome of listening felt worse than staying quiet.

But you’re not that child anymore. You don’t owe anyone silence and your body belongs to you now.

I wonder what would happen if, next time you feel that “I don’t want this” feeling, you let yourself stop instead of pushing through.

Do you think you could?
Do you think you should?
Do you know you’re allowed to?
Because the truth is, as an adult, you get to choose every moment you stay in and every moment you don’t. Your body would be relieved if you listened.

If this lands somewhere in you, stay close.
There’s a way to build a relationship with your body that feels steady and safe.

The work we do here asks a lot of us and that’s exactly why this team exists.
Trauma, attachment wounds, CSA, PTSD, CPTSD, and relationships… none of it is light work. Our clients walk in carrying stories that required extraordinary strength to survive.
So they deserve therapists who meet that strength with skill, humility, and heart.

This crew?
We show up human, steady, ready to sit in the hard moments without looking away. We have specialised training to stay ahead of the curve - especially for counsellors.

Every person who steps into this practice brings a different history, a different pace, a different level of trust. We honour that. We adapt to that. We allow time for people to feel themselves and find their way, with gentle nudges.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes a practice feel different - it’s this.

People who care deeply, think critically, and keep their feet on the ground when the room feels heavy.

We are here, ready for you to step into yourself and find your voice. PM me or head to our website Kelliesheldon.com.au
