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.
Stress and worries can affect our daily life with huge impact and take up so much of our time affecting our feeling of happiness and contentment with life. 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 stress and worry 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.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
A certain amount of stress is necessary to motivate us in various life tasks. High levels of stress however wreaks havoc on our emotional, mental and physical health. And when stress is maintained at high levels over long periods of time it can lead to nervous system overwhelm and burn-out. You don't want to put your body or your mind through that. I should know, I've been there. And I can say with conviction that nothing in life is worth it.
Our work together involves co-creating a space where you can relax in the moment. In addition to this we develop strategies that will support you to deal with stress in your day-to-day life.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
Stress often shows up when different parts of you are pulling in opposite directions—one part pushing to keep everything under control, another worrying about what might go wrong, and others feeling worn down by the pressure. These inner struggles can leave you exhausted and disconnected from yourself and those around you. We can get to know these parts with compassion, helping them soften so you can access more calm, clarity, and balance. You don’t have to manage all this on your own—I’m here to support you in finding steadier ground

Balancing the positive aspects of stress (eustress) that help to motivate and inspire us, with the more negative or destructive aspects is a skill we often need to have an encouraging therapist to support us to enhance. Our therapists understand the impact of distress and cumulative stress and work with you to ensure you have practical, effective and tailored strategies for your current life situation, along with methods to address future stressful situations.

Delphine Marina Psychotherapy and Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, Diploma Soul Centred Psychotherapy; MA(R.es) Cultural Studies; GradDip IT & Politics; BA(Hons)Human
Stress can show up as tension in the body, racing thoughts, irritability, or a constant sense of pressure that never lets up. It can be linked to work, relationships, health concerns, or feeling like you're carrying more than your share—often without rest or support.
In therapy, we slow down enough to understand what’s fuelling your stress, how it lives in your body, and what it’s trying to tell you. Together, we explore ways to create more space, steadiness, and resilience—so you can respond to life with greater clarity and calm, rather than staying stuck in survival mode.

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.
