Impulse Control Disorders
Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
Impulse control disorders can feel like being hijacked by your own mind - experiencing overwhelming urges that override your rational thinking and lead to behaviours you later regret. Whether it's explosive anger, compulsive shopping, hair pulling, or other impulsive behaviours, the cycle of urge, action, and shame can feel impossible to break. My approach to impulse control goes beyond willpower and behavioural modification to address the subconscious triggers and emotional patterns driving these compulsions. Using Subconscious Dynamics™, we identify the underlying stress, trauma, or unmet needs that fuel impulsive behaviours, then rewire the neural pathways that create these automatic responses. This holistic method helps you develop genuine self-control by transforming the root causes, giving you the power to pause, choose, and respond rather than react impulsively.

Impulse Control Disorders
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 mental health work, I have a good understanding of impulse control disorders and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner impulse control issues better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying often subconscious issues without the need to discuss the details of those issues. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of shame created from the impulse control behaviours behind.
My aim is to assist you with your impulse control 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.

Canberra is Australia's purpose-built capital city and home to the federal public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including burnout, moral injury, and careers lived in close proximity to political power. The city has the highest median income and education level of any Australian capital, with a population generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Canberra Hospital provides institutional mental health services alongside a well-established private practice community serving the inner south, Belconnen, and Tuggeranong. A recurring theme across many Canberra practices is the tension between personal values and the constraints of institutional work — a dynamic that cuts across much of the city's therapy culture.
