Our immediate goal is to help alleviate emotional pain and confusion and to build self confidence and coping skills. To do this we specialise in short, to long term, psychodynamic psychotherapy which consist of a series of conversations between you and your therapist.
These conversations are conducted with sensitivity, warmth and understanding in the confidential space of our consulting rooms or if preferred via Telehealth.
Our work is informed by a variety of contemporary psychological models of therapy. Most notable of these being the Conversational Model. This means we explore with you how past experiences and learned behaviour come together to influence your present day thinking and the effect that has on your future life goals and expectations.

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 high sensitivity issues and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner emotions better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills and build resilience for coping, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the often underlying trauma without the need to discuss the details of the trauma that can often be a cause of high sensitivity. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your high sensitivity 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.

Rebekah Kittl
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA Level 1, ACC (ICF)
Being a highly sensitive person isn't something to fix. It's a trait that comes with real strengths, alongside a lower tolerance for overstimulation, conflict, and environments that don't suit how you process the world. Many of my clients spent years thinking something was wrong with them before they had the language for this. I help you understand your sensitivity, protect your energy, and stop apologising for needing what you need. I see clients online across Australia.

Psychologist, BA Psych Hons; MSc
Being deeply affected by your environment isn’t a flaw, it’s a form of sensitivity and awareness that deserves care and understanding. We support HSPs (including many neurodivergent clients) in building boundaries, processing overwhelm, and turning sensitivity into strength.

Sudeva Hawkes
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, B.Couns., MNCPS Accred. , PACFA Reg.
Highly sensitive individuals often react intensely to internal and external stimuli, much like those who’ve experienced complex trauma. That is, for example, with increased emotional sensitivity and stronger reactivity to both internal and external stimuli—pain, hunger, light, and noise. I’ve found that trauma-informed therapies, along with mindfulness and clinical expertise, are particularly effective in supporting highly sensitive people. My goal is to help you thrive authentically, rather than conform to conventional expectations.
