The Becoming Practice
Counsellor/Therapist, M Couns; BSocSc (Psychology)

Life Transitions
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.

Life Transitions
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.
Along with a diverse personal and career background, I have a good understanding of various work and life stressors and change, and how it can impact the 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 life.
My aim is to assist you with your life transitions 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.

Life Transitions
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Life transitions, such as a new job, a move, becoming a parent, an empty nest, or retirement can bring both excitement and disorientation, even when the change is positive. If you're feeling unmoored by a shift in your life, let's work together to help you find your footing.
The first step in navigating life transitions is understanding that feeling unsettled during change is normal, not a sign that something's wrong. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll process what this transition means for you and build the tools to move through it with more steadiness and less overwhelm. My approach centers self-compassion, adaptability, and grounding you in what stays constant even as things shift.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling settled again.

Life Transitions
Delphine Marina Psychotherapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, Diploma Soul Centred Psychotherapy; MA(R.es) Cultural Studies; GradDip IT & Politics; BA(Hons)Human
Life transitions can bring a sense that something is shifting—whether through changes in relationships, work, health, ageing, or an inner feeling that your current way of being no longer fits. Even when change is chosen, it can unsettle your sense of identity and direction. You may feel uncertain, emotionally exposed, or disconnected from yourself. In our work together, we create space to slow down and listen to what is unfolding beneath the surface—supporting you to move through change with greater awareness, self-trust, and a deeper connection to your inner life.

Major transitions can disrupt familiar roles, relationships and ways of understanding ourselves. I support people through experiences including becoming a parent, relationship transitions, migration and immigrant acculturation, career changes and other periods where old ways of coping no longer feel sustainable.

Psychologist, Registered psychologist - BSc, Grad. Dip. App. Psych
Life transitions can be expected or unexpected, chosen or difficult, and sometimes involve significant change across several areas of life at once. Whether you are navigating a new chapter, a loss, a change in relationships, work or identity, these experiences can leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.

Melbourne has a well-established therapy culture and one of Australia's highest rates of therapist availability per capita, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and schema therapy. The city's high cost of living and competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing burnout, perfectionism, and relationship stress among its large young professional population. Melbourne's diverse migrant communities — including large South Asian, East Asian, and African populations — mean cultural competence and multilingual therapy are in consistent demand. The Royal Melbourne Hospital and Alfred Health provide institutional mental health resources alongside the city's extensive private and community-based therapy network.
