Grounded Space Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Graduate Diploma Trauma Informed Processwork Psychotherapy (Process Oriented Psychology), Diploma Counselling, Somatic Experiencing Cert II/III
Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (as well as C-PTSD) can profoundly impact an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Just as each traumatic experience or experiences are unique so are the ways in which we each respond and process them. There isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to trauma therapy but with new research we do know that trauma is stored in the body. I am a trauma informed Processwork (Process Oriented) Psychotherapist as well as Somatic Experiencing informed. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for you to gradually work through your traumatic experiences to regain a sense of control, and ultimately reclaim your life. Please read more about the therapy I provide for a deeper understanding of how I can help.

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 critical incident trauma response, restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of all kinds of trauma (recent or past) 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 trauma impacts better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session. This comprehensive strategy supports greater healing of the underlying trauma 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 anger, guilt or shame behind.
My aim is to assist you with your trauma 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.

Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
PTSD is fundamentally a nervous system injury; the body gets stuck in incomplete survival responses. SE helps the body gradually complete those responses, discharge stored survival energy, and return to regulation. This makes it especially suited for trauma resolution.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Trauma and PTSD affect the body, emotions, and relationships long after the original events have ended. I work with single-incident and complex trauma, including the trauma that comes from relationships that were not safe and from environments where survival required adaptation. The pacing is careful. We don't push past what your body and mind are ready for; we work alongside them. The aim is restored agency and steadier ground, with no expectation that the work will erase what has happened.
