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.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Depression can make even small things feel impossibly heavy — getting out of bed, staying connected, finding meaning in your day. If you're feeling stuck, numb, or worn down, let's work together to help you find your way back to yourself.
The first step in working with depression is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you for struggling — depression is not a character flaw, and healing is absolutely possible. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's underneath the heaviness and build a path toward feeling more like yourself again. My approach focuses on self-compassion, gentle accountability, and finding sustainable ways forward, one step at a time.
You don't have to carry this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling lighter and more connected to your life.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

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.

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.

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.

Reeta Dabydoyal
Counsellor/Therapist, Certified NLP Master Practitioner, Master Life Coach, Advanced Conversational Hypnotherapy, CDAA, NLPAA
You feel life is out of control, road blocks after roadblocks where everything seems to be going wrong. Has your stress level taken its toll in your life specially right now?
Experiencing depression can be quite debilitating and painful. Without appropriate intervention, depression can easily manifest to other emotional and physical symptoms. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients suffering from mental issues, workplace stress, depression and other emotional, physical related issues. My goal is to help you to break free from the stressful life changes, frustrations, self-doubt and low self esteem that are keeping you stuck. You will learn strategies how to overcome the inner conflicts, letting go of the old patterns, shift your mindset, manage your emotional state, and understand how to develop new empowering thoughts.
I use a variety of stress relief techniques and tools including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Light healing, Emotional Intelligence, Guided Imagery, Advanced Conversational Hypnotherapy, and Timeline Therapy to assist with overcoming any limiting beliefs, fears, and emotional blocks so you can step up to reclaim your power, rewrite your story and take charge of your life to become your BEST VERSION.
Life is too short to be unhappy. Imagine who would you become without your emotional baggage and liberate yourself from being a slave to your emotions?
If you are looking to create lasting change and would like to work with me, feel free to send me a message.
I look forward to connecting with you and making a difference in your life.
