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.
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 to assist you further where requested.
Social anxiety can be debilitating in hampering healthy, confident interaction with others and can lead to isolation and loneliness. I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from social anxiety 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.

Counsellor/Therapist, Level 2 Counsellor (ACA)
Social anxiety is an important topic to discuss because it’s common, often invisible, highly limiting, and very treatable—yet many people suffer in silence.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Social anxiety can feel incredibly exposing, like there's nowhere to hide. Introducing ourselves to a bunch of people or saying our name in a group can feel like a terrifying and even life-threatening task. And that's before we even get to giving a public talk.
There's usually a fear of being judged, criticised or shamed. And the fear of the anxiety arising in company is usually more debilitating than the anxiety itself. The important thing to know is that it's a very normal fear, and that lots of people experience it.

Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Reg. Certified Practising 32932
It can be difficult to admit to social anxiety, but it is surprisingly common. Lack of safety in being one's 'true self', or feeling safe to express ones inner world, especially in one's early life, can be contributive to an underlying anxiety in social settings. Many of us navigate life with various measures in place to cope with social anxiety, such as 'masking' or substance use which may serve to alleviate temporary anxiety but reinforces the cycle, rather than address the root cause of the anxiety in the first place. Like any other challenge, i will work with you as an integrative psychotherapist to understand these root causes of the patterns shaping your experience of social life, so that you can transform them on a deep emotional level, opening yourself up to a new way of being in the world.
