Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), 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 and career whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties 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.
I also provide dedicated Professional Clinical Supervision services for a diverse range of counselling therapists, health and non-health related professionals seeking to enhance their career skills, navigate complex client cases, and maintain professional well-being.

a Counselling Concern, Paul Hammat OAM
Counsellor/Therapist, MSS Counselling, B.Theol, Registered Clinical Counsellor (PACFA). Certified Supervisor (PACFA)
The foundation of effective counselling lies in the relationship between the client and the counsellor. This relationship is more crucial to success than any specific technique or training. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your concerns without judgment, with empathy, and genuine understanding. Together, we will set the goals for your counselling journey and work towards achieving them.

Mathew Bergan
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist and Counsellor (Grad Dip)
My therapy practice offers a grounded, relational space where you can slow down, feel met, and work at a pace that respects your nervous system and your story. I combine Gestalt and somatic approaches to help you build awareness, process difficult experiences, and strengthen your sense of agency in everyday life. Clients often reach out when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and want support that is practical and deeply human. If you’re looking for therapy that values meaningful change, I welcome you to make contact.

Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
I’m a somatic psychotherapist and counsellor who believes that lasting healing happens when the mind, body, and heart are aligned. I offer a safe, supportive environment where deep exploration is met with empathy, respect, and grounded presence. My work is informed by humanistic principles and a belief that each person carries innate wisdom within their nervous system waiting to be heard and understood.
