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.
My focus is in supporting harm minimisation strategies that can feel practical for your circumstances. Problematic gambling can snowball to a range of other life difficulties and complications creating overwhelm and secretive isolation which is devastating to your happiness and how you feel about yourself. I can utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor or other treatment provider to assist you further where requested.
My aim is to assist you with your problem gambling creating 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.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
I help the subconscious realize that gambling was being used as an escape, a stress release, or a search for a "high"and guide it toward healthy, natural alternatives using Ericksonian tools like fast-rewinding memories of winning or installing physical calming anchors to disrupt the automatic "chasing losses" loop so cravings lose their power.
