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.
Experiencing postpartum or postnatal depression can feel shameful and isolating, especially when you feel the people around you are expecting you to behave joyfully due to the delivering of your new baby. It can cause you to feel inadequate as a mother and that 'something is wrong with me' and not understand what it is that is causing the deep sense of despair and often detachment. 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 a psycho-educational approach to help you understand postpartum or postnatal depression better and normalise your experience.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from postpartum or postnatal 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.

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.
