Child or Adolescent Issues
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work with children and youth/teenagers 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.
Along with a diverse personal career background, I have a good understanding of various stressors for children and youth and how it can impact the young person, and the potential impacts for those around them. This makes it easier for me to be empathic and supportive in assisting you in finding solutions that you can feel inspired with to move forward on in your home and school life.
My aim is to assist you with your life challenges to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies for managing strong emotions 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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Alexina Baldini
Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
Children and adolescents are increasingly the focus of concern for many adults, including their parents and other key family members or friend. We have staff who specialise in working with particular age groups, from pre-schoolers (when the adults caring for the child are key people included in the therapy) through to older adolescents whose needs for independence are often needing to be balanced with responsibility and risk. Good therapy provided for these age groups can set the individual up for successful relationships into the future and promote their ability to seek further support as required into the future.
