Katie Feder
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Hons Psychology
Surviving domestic abuse—whether emotional, psychological, or physical—can leave deep wounds, making it hard to trust yourself, others, or even the possibility of a different future. You may feel trapped by fear, self-doubt, or the lingering effects of manipulation and control. But you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can begin to untangle the trauma, understand what has happened to you, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we’ll work to restore your sense of safety—both emotionally and within your body—so your nervous system can begin to heal. As you move forward, I’ll help you build the clarity and confidence to set healthy boundaries, break free from old patterns, and step into a life where you are valued, respected, and in charge of your own well-being.
You deserve to feel safe. You deserve to heal. And you deserve a life where you decide what comes next.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Due to my background in restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of family violence and relationship harm issues and how they impact the person experiencing them as well as the person using those behaviours. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner feelings and experiences, and to learn practical strategies for greater safety and coping. I can also utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support healing of the underlying trauma of your experiences, without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of shame behind.
My aim is to assist you with your difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods) along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Nest & The Relationhsip Retreat
Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical PACFA accredited, Gottman Method Level 2
I have worked with many couples where they have either grown up in Domestic and Family Violence situations or they are currently living in that situation. Once full assessment is completed, if the DFV is found to be contraindicated to therapy outcomes I would refer on for individual therapy. In circumstances where it would be workable in therapy, I would work with the couple to explore healthy conflict management.
