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 neurodiverse diagnoses including ASD and how it can impact the person including 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 of the diagnosis, instead focusing on the issues you wish to focus on to utilise your session in a way that works best for you. I am always happy to only specifically clarify what may be unique to you so I can best support your needs.
My aim is to then assist you with your life difficulties 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.

Kristen Bayliss
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
The uniqueness of each person with autism makes the experience of living with autism different for each individual and family. Autism is a life-long neurodevelopmental condition characterised by differences in social communication and interactions, alongside sensory sensitivities, focused interests, and repetitive behaviours. We support individuals and families in their journey to live life to it's fullest in all circumstances.

Tegan Bailey
Art Therapist, Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice
I offer neurodivergent-affirming creative arts therapy for Autistic youth (13+) and adults. As a late-identified AuDHDer, I understand the complexities of masking, identity and late recognition from lived experience as well as clinical training. Sessions move at a consent-aware pace and centre on artmaking rather than performance or explanation. There is no pressure to conform. Autonomy is supported through choice of materials, pacing and participation.

We provide autism assessments from 12 months of age through adulthood, using tools such as MIGDAS, ADOS-2, SRS-2, ASRS and RAADS-R as clinically indicated. Assessments are available online across Australia, with in-person attendance at our North Lakes clinic where ADOS-2 forms part of the process. We also support autistic children, teenagers and adults after diagnosis, including adults making sense of a late identification, and we work with families on communication, routines and everyday demands. No GP referral is needed to book.
