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.
My focus is in supporting harm minimisation strategies that can feel practical for your circumstances. I understand that abstinence is not always the goal for every individual and this is not a focus unless you desire this particular goal. I can also utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor or other treatment provider to assist you further where requested.
My aim is to then assist you with your life difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with 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.
11 Years Experience
Online in Auckland, New Zealand (Online Only)
Auckland houses the majority of New Zealand's therapy community, with practitioners concentrated in Parnell, Remuera, Grey Lynn, and the North Shore. The city's housing affordability crisis — one of the worst in the world relative to income — is a persistent source of financial anxiety, and therapists frequently address housing stress, displacement, and the difficulty of achieving stability in one of the world's most expensive property markets. Auckland's large Pacific Islander and Māori populations require therapists with cultural competence around Indigenous mental health, collectivist family systems, and the historical trauma of colonization. Te Whatu Ora — Health New Zealand provides public mental health services, with a growing private therapy community serving those with health insurance or the capacity to self-fund.
