Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Therapy will place a strong emphasis on creating an empathetic space for clients to process and effectively manage depressive symptoms. The non-judgmental environment is designed to enable clients to safely explore and delve into the complexities of their depression. By applying evidence-based practices (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, clients acquire the necessary skills for effectively managing their depressive symptoms. Whether the focus is on major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, or other related depressive conditions, the approaches can assist clients in alleviating the emotional burden of depression and progressing towards an improved quality of life.
Call for a free consultation. Medicare rebated sessions (obtained from a GP called mental health care plan) and private health insurance rebates session available.

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.

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.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Depression has a deceptive timelessness where it can feel like things have always been this dark and will always be this dark. But that's not true. Nothing in nature remains static. Things are always changing. One season replaces another. It's important to remember this and to know, even in the darkest moments, that something different is possible.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
Depression isn't just sadness, it's heaviness. It's the fog that makes everything harder, the exhaustion that makes getting out of bed feel like climbing a mountain, and the voice that whispers, "What's the point?" You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're carrying a weight that was never yours to hold alone.
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle path back to the light. In a safe, quiet space, we work with your subconscious to lift the fog, piece by piece. We don't rush. We don't judge. We simply help your mind remember what it feels like to hope again.
