At Gaining Momentum we provide Clinical Psychological and Executive Coaching Services to clients and are based in Dee Why on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Gaining Momentum is run by Dr Mataji Kennedy who is a qualified Clinical Psychologist with extensive Clinical and Corporate experience. She is a mother of two small children, has transitioned in and out of a number of roles in her career and has first-hand experience of the complexities associated with these type of life changing events.

Areas of Speciality

At Gaining Momentum we work with a range of issues including Depression and Anxiety and in particular we specialise in clients who are adjusting to motherhood and finding the transition to becoming a parent challenging. Many mothers, at some point, feel overwhelmed by the parenting experience and struggle with feelings of isolation, loss of control and/or loss of identity.

Postnatal Depression effects 16% of new mums in Australia and is often a topic that is taboo. Many women find it difficult to admit they are not coping even to people close to them. Please put your hand up if you are not coping. We provide a safe, non-judgemental environment and can help you in working through your issues and in dealing with your feelings.

How we work

We work with a range of clients who find themselves going through a life changing event. Dr Mataji Kennedy will work with you in a respectful and compassionate way to find positive solutions and ways to move forward. Sessions are on a one to one basis and information remains confidential.

It takes courage to ask for help but the rewards are great. It’s easy to do what you have always done but if that isn’t working for you at the moment, then we can help you acquire new skills to cope with the changes in your life.
