Julia Symons
Psychologist, Registered psychologist - BSc, Grad. Dip. App. Psych
Emotional abuse can take many forms and can occur in all kinds of relationships and contexts, from early childhood through to our adult lives. It can be difficult to recognise, particularly when it has become normalised over time, and its effects can influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and understand what we deserve from our relationships. In therapy, I will provide a safe, compassionate space to explore and make sense of these experiences without judgement. Together, we can work towards understanding the impact of emotional abuse, rebuilding self-trust and confidence, developing healthier boundaries, and creating relationships that feel safer, more respectful and more fulfilling.

Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Emotional abuse can often fly under the radar as it's not as visible or obvious as physical violence however it can be just as damaging. I support clients to recognise what emotional abuse can be and how to safely and sustainable adjust their relationships and environment to get them away from those harmful dynamics.

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 restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of family violence and relationship harm issues and how they impact the person experiencing them as well as the person using those behaviours. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner feelings and experiences, and to learn practical strategies for greater safety and coping. I can also utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support healing of the underlying trauma of your experiences, without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of shame behind.
My aim is to assist you with your 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.

Adelaide is South Australia's capital and one of Australia's most liveable cities, with a strong arts, food, and festival culture that coexists with the mental health challenges common to all major Australian cities. The Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre provide substantial institutional mental health resources, while the University of Adelaide and Flinders University maintain active clinical psychology training programs feeding into the private practice community. Adelaide's lower housing costs relative to Sydney and Melbourne make private therapy more financially accessible for a broader segment of the population, and the city's compact geography means practices are relatively easy to reach. Growing migrant communities from India, China, and Southeast Asia are increasing demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists.
