Dissociation
Jacinta Sherlock
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, APD, CEDC-D
I have supported many people with dissociated disorders who are experiencing a range of different food and eating related challenges. I have worked with many people who have multiple parts and worked to establish trust and safety with these parts.

Dissociation
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Dissociation is often the mind’s way of surviving something too overwhelming to process in the moment, whether that’s a single event or prolonged early experience. I work with clients to build a sense of safety and grounding first, then gently reconnect with the parts of experience that have been split off, using trauma-informed approaches alongside Transactional Analysis to make sense of the underlying script.

Dissociation
Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
I have worked with people with a variety of dissociative disorders, including dissociative identity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder with derealisation/depersonalisation, and borderline personality disorder. For DID, my aim is to help you to function at your best, not to forcibly integrate personalities (which can be very damaging). For other dissociative disorders, my aim is to help you reduce your symptoms and improve function and relationships.

Dissociation
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
There are genuine reasons why we might dissociate or be taken over by an altered state. Often these reasons have to do with how we were shaped by our environment in early childhood, and sometimes this gets complicated with experiences later in life.
Dissociation often arises alongside other conditions such as depression or anxiety.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work with you to understand what those reasons are, and how we can transform them into new ways of being. This means collaborating with you in creating a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.
Dissociation can be very difficult to navigate, but it is possible to stabilise one's state of mind and move towards a safety and security that means the episodes become less and less frequent. The work might involve tracking through the body the interlinking of one's thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviours, and how they relate to dissociation. The work might also involve deep visualisations to create an internal sense of security in relationships (Integrative Attachment Therapy).

Dissociation
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 nursing and mental health, I have a good understanding of dissociative disorder issues including dissociative identity disorder (DID) and it can impact the person, including the potential impacts for those around them. I can utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the often underlying past trauma, without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a greater connection with sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your dissociative 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.
