Dissociation
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Dissociation is often the mind’s way of surviving something too overwhelming to process in the moment, whether that’s a single event or prolonged early experience. I work with clients to build a sense of safety and grounding first, then gently reconnect with the parts of experience that have been split off, using trauma-informed approaches alongside Transactional Analysis to make sense of the underlying script.

Dissociation
Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
Dissociation is a natural and intelligent response to overwhelming experiences - your system's way of protecting you. Using IFS, we'll work with your dissociative parts with curiosity and respect, understanding their protective role while gently helping you develop more connection and presence. The somatic approach helps you safely reconnect with your body at your own pace.

Dissociation
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
There are genuine reasons why we might dissociate or be taken over by an altered state. Often these reasons have to do with how we were shaped by our environment in early childhood, and sometimes this gets complicated with experiences later in life.
Dissociation often arises alongside other conditions such as depression or anxiety.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work with you to understand what those reasons are, and how we can transform them into new ways of being. This means collaborating with you in creating a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.
Dissociation can be very difficult to navigate, but it is possible to stabilise one's state of mind and move towards a safety and security that means the episodes become less and less frequent. The work might involve tracking through the body the interlinking of one's thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviours, and how they relate to dissociation. The work might also involve deep visualisations to create an internal sense of security in relationships (Integrative Attachment Therapy).

Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
I have worked with people with a variety of dissociative disorders, including dissociative identity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder with derealisation/depersonalisation, and borderline personality disorder. For DID, my aim is to help you to function at your best, not to forcibly integrate personalities (which can be very damaging). For other dissociative disorders, my aim is to help you reduce your symptoms and improve function and relationships.
