Depression
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Depression can feel like a flattening of everything, including the parts of yourself that used to feel most alive. I work with clients to understand what’s underneath the low mood, whether that’s unresolved grief, suppressed anger, or long-held beliefs about not being enough, and to rebuild a genuine connection to themselves and their life. Sessions combine the practical tools of CBT with deeper relational exploration.

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.
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 and enthusiasm for life.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from low mood and depression 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.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Depression can make even small things feel impossibly heavy — getting out of bed, staying connected, finding meaning in your day. If you're feeling stuck, numb, or worn down, let's work together to help you find your way back to yourself.
The first step in working with depression is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you for struggling — depression is not a character flaw, and healing is absolutely possible. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's underneath the heaviness and build a path toward feeling more like yourself again. My approach focuses on self-compassion, gentle accountability, and finding sustainable ways forward, one step at a time.
You don't have to carry this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling lighter and more connected to your life.
