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.
Being a bisexual woman myself along with listening to many, many other peoples stories within my working with clients who identify as LGBTI, I feel I have a good understanding of common LGBTI issues and how they can impact the person experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your true self to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using 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.

Kristen Bayliss
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
Although the problem for people who identify as LGBTI sits with the attitudes and behaviours of the society around them, a person may seek help to learn how to cope with impacts, and any other issues related to a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. We can assist and support you through your journey and mental health.

I value the full diversity of our community, and I will recognise you with the pronouns, name, and gender (or lack of gender) presentation that represents you and your wishes.

As a non traditional therapist I offer creative therapies in addition to more standard approaches.

Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Working with the queer community is one of my main focusses. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I know how important it can be to have a therapist that understands the nuances of living as a queer person in the heteronormative world. I help clients navigate issues around identity, sexuality and relating. Book a free 15 minute phone consult via my website to discuss more.
