Low mood or depression is sometimes a sign that we are not living an aligned life, that something isn't right, that something is missing or that we are stuck. What if you could be curious and be open to the possibility of its wisdom?

Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
I approach depression through a somatic and relational lens, understanding it not as a personal failure or something to be “fixed,” but often as a protective response of the nervous system to overwhelm, loss, or long-held emotional pain. Depression can show up as numbness, exhaustion, low motivation, disconnection, or a sense of meaninglessness — experiences that are deeply embodied, not just mental.
In somatic psychotherapy, we work gently with the body’s signals to restore movement, vitality, and emotional contact at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than pushing for positivity or insight alone, this approach supports gradual reconnection with feeling, agency, and self-compassion. Over time, clients often find increased energy, clarity, and a renewed capacity to engage with life and relationships.
This work can be especially helpful if depression feels persistent, if talk therapy hasn’t shifted things, or if you experience depression alongside anxiety or trauma.

Depression is particularly responsive to counselling treatment.Depression is caused by mood-regulating neurotransmitters not functioning properly. There are a number of factors that may play a role in causing or triggering depression such as genetic predisposition, your personality type, ageing, stress and other depression triggers and factors.

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.
I can also 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 to assist you further where requested.
I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self and enthusiasm for life.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from low mood and depression 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.
