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.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from fear or anxiety 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.

Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Living with anxiety or persistent fears can feel exhausting and overwhelming, like your mind is constantly in “alert mode.” I help individuals understand what’s happening beneath the surface, regulate their nervous system, and build tools to manage worry, overthinking, panic, and fear-based patterns.
Through gentle, trauma-informed and integrative therapy, we work together to restore calm, confidence, and emotional balance, one step at a time.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work with thoughtful, capable adults who may understand their anxiety intellectually yet still find themselves reacting when triggered. Together, we look beneath the anxiety to understand the patterns, triggers and underlying dynamics driving it. Rather than only managing symptoms, the work develops greater awareness and capacity to respond differently, creating more clarity, choice and inner space.

Rebekah Kittl
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA Level 1, ACC (ICF)
Anxiety often shows up as overthinking, tight shoulders, or a mind that won't switch off at 11pm. It can also show up as avoiding things that matter to you, without quite admitting that's what's happening. I use a person-centred approach alongside ACT and tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to help you understand what your anxiety is protecting you from and build a different relationship with it.
Sessions run online for clients across Australia.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Anxiety can feel like your mind and body are working against you — racing thoughts, a tight chest, a sense that something's always about to go wrong. If you're tired of feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of worry, let's work together to help you find steadier ground.
The first step in working with anxiety is understanding that your nervous system isn't broken — it's doing its best to protect you, even when that protection no longer serves you. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where your anxiety comes from, both in your thoughts and in your body, and build tools that actually fit your life. My approach combines somatic awareness, self-compassion, and practical strategies, helping you feel more grounded, present, and in control.
You don't have to white-knuckle your way through this. Let's take the first step toward calm and a more spacious way of living.

Online hypnotherapy offers a gentle path back to calm. In a safe, virtual space, we bypass the overthinking conscious mind and speak directly to the part of you that needs safety. We will untangle the knots of fear and replace the alarm bells with a deep, natural sense of peace.
You deserve to breathe easy again.

Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
work with anxiety from a somatic and nervous-system-informed perspective, recognising that anxiety is often less about faulty thinking and more about a body that has learned to stay on high alert. Rather than trying to suppress or “get rid of” anxious thoughts, we focus on gently understanding how anxiety lives in your body and what it is trying to communicate.
Through somatic awareness, pacing, and embodied regulation, we work to increase your capacity to stay present with uncomfortable sensations without becoming overwhelmed. This approach helps reduce chronic tension, racing thoughts, panic symptoms, and the sense of being constantly on edge. Over time, clients often experience greater calm, self-trust, and the ability to respond to life with more choice rather than reactivity.
This work is especially helpful if you’ve tried traditional talk therapy or cognitive approaches and found that anxiety still returns in the body.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
The pressure to 'be' something in the world can be overwhelming. Add to that the distress of what's happening in our ecosystem and, through that lens, having anxiety absolutely makes sense.
When it comes to the climate crisis, feelings such as anxiety, guilt, terror, grief, anger, despair and helplessness are not something to be fixed or cured. They are healthy, appropriate responses. They show that you care.
My experience is that anxiety and fear often come from needing, but not being able, to predict the future. And the fear of the fear itself can be debilitating. It doesn't have to be that way.
We work to bring your body on board so that your mind can take a break from its catastrophic thought cycles. Bringing the body on board also helps to build your supports and your ground and to soothe your weary mind.

Lailla Sena - Somatic Practitioner
Life Coach, Psychosomatic Practitioner | Breathwork Facilitator
If your anxiety lives in your body, you already know that understanding it hasn't made it stop. When the chest won't fully open. The breath that stays high and shallow. Waking at 3am with a heart going fast and no reason you can name. You've tried to reason with it, and reason isn't what it responds to, because anxiety isn't a belief to be corrected, it's a body still braced for something that may have already passed.
Together we slow down enough to meet it where it actually lives: in breath, in sensation, in the places that grip. Not to push it away, but to let your body finally discharge what it's been holding. Reprogramming your body back into feeling safe. If this is you, I can support you in your process. Schedule a free chat with me today to get started.
