Mathew Bergan
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist and Counsellor (Grad Dip)
My therapy practice offers a grounded, relational space where you can slow down, feel met, and work at a pace that respects your nervous system and your story. I combine Gestalt and somatic approaches to help you build awareness, process difficult experiences, and strengthen your sense of agency in everyday life. Clients often reach out when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and want support that is practical and deeply human. If you’re looking for therapy that values meaningful change, I welcome you to make contact.

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 and career whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
My aim is to assist you with 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.
I also provide dedicated Professional Clinical Supervision services for a diverse range of counselling therapists, health and non-health related professionals seeking to enhance their career skills, navigate complex client cases, and maintain professional well-being.

Wonderful Mess
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Social Work, Diploma of Counselling
I am passionate about helping people because of my own story of going through hell and back.
Over the past 9 years, I have gone from not believing mental health was a thing, to severe burnout due to workplace bullying, then a car accident, to educating myself on mental health to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I now see it as my duty to give back, to help others going through what life throws at them. Because, I swear to you, things can get better.
I sincerely believe that we all need counselling at some point (or several points) in our lives.
I am here to tell you that you are not alone. I will hold you hand while you are working through whatever is causing you to struggle, and to uncover all these strengths within you that you may not even know you have.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
I want my clients to get the most out of therapy, so that, as soon as possible, they no longer need therapy. Foremost in how I work is the establishment of as much safety as is reasonably possible and a strong collaborative alliance. I bring my full being to meet clients where they are at and walk with them to where they want to be. I work with you to tap into and develop your own innate capacities for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing. Whether it is trauma, grief and loss, or relational, emotional or life purpose issues, I help you get to the root cause of your experience and connect to it in a powerful, transformative way.
The parable of teaching a person to fish can apply here. Together we will catch some fish and address the immediate problems, but ultimately you will be better at fishing yourself, so you will carry the gifts of therapy with you long after we stop working together.
I chose the path of psychotherapy because I wanted to address the root cause of suffering and find a way to be of meaningful service. It is a deeply transformative and fulfilling path. There is something about being with another in therapy that leaves me never quite the same as when I entered the session. As such, my work brings me life, just as I endeavour the same for my clients. If this is resonating with you, I encourage you to contact me for a free consultation call.
