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 (including dementia care) and mental health, I have a good understanding of various Alzheimers diagnoses and how they impact the person and the potential impacts for those around them required to support them. This makes it easier for you to not feel you need to provide detailed explanation the diagnosis, rather focusing on what you actually wish to discuss to use your session time in a way that fits best for you. If I have any question about the diagnosis etc, I will only ask specifically regarding that missing piece of information to assist my understanding so I can support you best.
My aim is to assist you with your changing life difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods. Where ever you are in your Alzheimers journey, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Darwin is Australia's most remote and northerly capital city, a frontier community in the tropical Top End of the Northern Territory with a distinctive character shaped by its military presence, geographic isolation, significant Indigenous population in the broader region, and a transient workforce that moves in and out of the city on short postings and contracts. The mental health landscape reflects the specific stresses of remote tropical living—extreme heat and humidity, cyclone anxiety, isolation from family and major urban centres, and alcohol-related harm—alongside the acute needs of Darwin's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. NT Health provides public mental health services through the Top End Mental Health service, and a private therapy sector serves permanent residents and longer-term workers; telehealth is widely used for those in more remote communities across the Top End. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship stress, and the adjustment challenges of a city where many residents are perpetually in transition.
