Depression
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Depression has a deceptive timelessness where it can feel like things have always been this dark and will always be this dark. But that's not true. Nothing in nature remains static. Things are always changing. One season replaces another. It's important to remember this and to know, even in the darkest moments, that something different is possible.

Depression
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Depression can make even small things feel impossibly heavy — getting out of bed, staying connected, finding meaning in your day. If you're feeling stuck, numb, or worn down, let's work together to help you find your way back to yourself.
The first step in working with depression is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you for struggling — depression is not a character flaw, and healing is absolutely possible. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's underneath the heaviness and build a path toward feeling more like yourself again. My approach focuses on self-compassion, gentle accountability, and finding sustainable ways forward, one step at a time.
You don't have to carry this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling lighter and more connected to your life.

Depression
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.
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 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 and enthusiasm for life.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from low mood and 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.

You may be feeling low, and be struggling to know what to do next. Therapy can help shift some of the stuck patterns of thinking and offer a space to reflect on the difficult feelings that might be getting in your way.
