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.
Along with a diverse personal career background, I have a good understanding of various career stressors and change (including forced changes) and how it can impact the person, and the potential impacts for those around them. This makes it easier for me to be empathic and supportive in assisting you in finding solutions that you can feel inspired with to move forward on in your working life or into retirement.
My aim is to assist you with your life changes 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.

Rebekah Kittl
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA Level 1, ACC (ICF)
Career questions rarely stay in one lane. A decision about your job usually touches your identity, your finances and the people counting on you, all at once. I work with clients who are circling a career change without quite admitting it, often because saying it out loud makes it real. Drawing on more than twenty years in business and leadership roles before I trained as a counsellor, I understand both sides of that decision. Sessions are online, for clients across Australia.

Taking a new career step can be exciting, or daunting, or both. We'll look at what it is that makes you tick, where you've been in your career and where you want to go from here. Using interesting maps we'll identify what supports this change and what doesn't. And we'll shape the path that will take you where you want to be in your career and your life.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Having run my own company for over 20 years before training as a psychotherapist, I bring a rare dual lens to career counselling: I understand both the internal psychological terrain and the real pressures of running or working within a business. I specialise in supporting professionals who are clearly successful by external measures but privately stuck, whether that’s burnout, a values mismatch, imposter feelings, or difficulty navigating conflict and politics at senior levels. Rather than generic career advice, sessions focus on the beliefs and patterns driving career decisions, so change is grounded and sustainable rather than another short-term fix.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure about your career path can weigh on far more than just your work life — it can shape your sense of purpose and self-worth. If you're facing a career crossroads or just know something needs to change, let's work together to help you find clarity and direction.
The first step in career counseling is understanding that uncertainty doesn't mean you're behind — it often means you're ready for something more aligned. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore your values, strengths, and what's been holding you back, and build a path forward that actually fits who you are. My approach combines practical strategy with self-compassion, helping you move forward with confidence instead of pressure.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Let's take the first step toward work that feels more like a fit.

Sydney's high cost of living, competitive job market, and population density create significant ongoing stress for residents, with therapists frequently addressing housing anxiety, burnout, and the pressures of maintaining relationships in a fast-paced city. The city has large Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Lebanese communities, and culturally competent and multilingual therapists are in consistent demand across its diverse suburban and inner-city neighbourhoods. Sydney's mental health landscape is supported by institutions including Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the Black Dog Institute at UNSW, with a large private therapy community serving the CBD, Inner West, Northern Beaches, and Eastern Suburbs. Medicare rebates through Mental Health Treatment Plans make a significant number of sessions partially subsidised for eligible residents.
