Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
While I do not generally do therapy with people experiencing addiction, I have lived experience of nicotine addiction and quitting smoking as well as training in motivational interviewing. Quitting can be a tough road. However many times you've attempted, I am here to support you. I'm available for both counselling and pharmacological management (including prescription nicotine).

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.
My focus is in supporting harm minimisation strategies that can feel practical for your circumstances to support you stopping smoking. 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 issues surrounding your smoking. These gentle but effective techniques help you to move forward in your life in a new and positive way to achieve your goal.
My aim is to assist you with your stopping smoking 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.

Hypnotherapy and the will are often used. But I have also seen other tools to be effective in helping the person who seriously wants to give up.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Quitting smoking is one of the hardest habits to change, especially when it's tangled up with stress relief, routine, or identity. If you're ready to quit but keep hitting the same walls, let's work together to help you break the cycle for good.
The first step in quitting is understanding that relapse and struggle don't mean failure. They're part of most people's path to lasting change, not a sign you can't do it. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's driving the habit and build strategies that address the real triggers underneath it, not just the behaviour itself. My approach centres accountability, self-compassion, and sustainable change over quick fixes.
You don't have to do this alone. Let's take the first step toward freedom from smoking, for good.

Bendigo is Victoria's fourth-largest city, an inland regional centre with a celebrated gold rush heritage, outstanding cultural institutions including the Bendigo Art Gallery (one of Australia's finest regional galleries), and a contemporary economy built on healthcare, education, and manufacturing. Bendigo Health provides public mental health services to the region, and La Trobe University's Bendigo campus contributes trained mental health professionals and a student population to the local landscape. The surrounding Loddon Mallee region includes significant rural and farming communities, and Bendigo functions as a major referral point for mental health services across a large agricultural hinterland where access is a persistent challenge. Common therapy concerns include rural and farming community stress, student mental health, regional isolation, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a regional city competing with Melbourne's pull for young professionals and families.
