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.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work with people experiencing stress, overwhelm and persistent internal pressure. Rather than treating stress only as having too much to do, we explore patterns around responsibility, perfectionism, boundaries, self-worth and how you respond under pressure. The aim is not simply to cope better, but to develop greater awareness, choice and capacity to meet life without repeatedly losing yourself in it.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Chronic stress can leave you running on empty, wired, exhausted, and never quite able to switch off. If stress has become your baseline instead of the exception, let's work together to help you find a more sustainable way of living.
The first step in working with stress is understanding that your body's stress response isn't a malfunction. It's doing exactly what it's designed to do, just too often and for too long. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore your specific stressors and build a toolkit: somatic, practical, and emotional that actually fits your life. My approach centres self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and sustainable balance.
You don't have to keep running on empty. Let's take the first step toward feeling more grounded and at ease.

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

Psychologist, B.B.Sc., G.D.A.C.P., M.Psych.(For.), F.A.P.S.
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.

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 stress can be quite debilitating and painful. Without appropriate intervention, stress can easily escalate to other emotional symptoms such as depression, mood swing, social isolation that can impact in various areas of your life. I have worked with clients experiencing workplace stress, depression and other emotional, physical and spiritual related issues. My goal is to help you to break free from the stressful life changes, frustrations, self-doubt and identify root cause of issue that is 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 develop new and 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.

Rita El Alaoui
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapy diploma, reiki master diploma.
Stress has become your normal. The tight shoulders, the racing mind, the short temper with people you love. You've been running on adrenaline for so long that you've forgotten what "calm" actually feels like. But here's the truth: this pace is unsustainable. And you don't have to keep it up.
Hypnotherapy offers a true pause. In a deeply relaxing online session, we guide your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into rest-and-digest. Not just a nap, a real reset. Imagine putting down the weight for an hour and remembering what peace feels like.
You deserve to breathe. Let's start now.

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.
