Mathew Bergan
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist and Counsellor (Grad Dip)
I support LGBTQIA+ people by providing a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space to explore identity, relationships, and experiences of minority stress or marginalisation. Together, we navigate challenges such as family estrangement, chosen family dynamics, coming out, or gender-affirming experiences at a pace that feels right for you. My approach honours lived experience and values authentic connection to yourself and your community.

Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Gender and sexuality can be profound sources of identity, belonging, joy, and connection, while also carrying experiences of misunderstanding, isolation, discrimination, or shame. Therapy offers a space where every aspect of your identity can be explored with curiosity, respect, and care, without assumptions about who you are or who you should be.
As a cisgender woman with a background in gender studies, I am committed to offering an affirming and reflective therapeutic relationship for LGBTQIA+ people. My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing, recognising that each person's experience is unique and shaped not only by identity, but also by relationships, personal history, the body, and the broader social and cultural contexts in which they live.
Whether you're exploring your identity, navigating relationships, processing the impact of discrimination, or simply seeking a therapist with whom you don't need to explain or defend your experience, my hope is that therapy provides a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and able to relate to yourself with greater freedom and compassion.

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.
Being a bisexual woman myself along with listening to many, many other peoples stories within my working with clients who identify as LGBTI, I feel I have a good understanding of common LGBTI issues and how they can impact the person experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your true self to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using 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.
