Life Transitions
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Life transitions, such as a new job, a move, becoming a parent, an empty nest, or retirement can bring both excitement and disorientation, even when the change is positive. If you're feeling unmoored by a shift in your life, let's work together to help you find your footing.
The first step in navigating life transitions is understanding that feeling unsettled during change is normal, not a sign that something's wrong. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll process what this transition means for you and build the tools to move through it with more steadiness and less overwhelm. My approach centers self-compassion, adaptability, and grounding you in what stays constant even as things shift.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling settled again.

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.
Along with a diverse personal and career background, I have a good understanding of various work and life stressors and change, and how it can impact the person, and the potential impacts for those around them. This makes it easier for me to be empathic and supportive in assisting you in finding solutions that you can feel inspired with to move forward on in your life.
My aim is to assist you with your life transitions 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.

Dabaco Doldissen
Counsellor/Therapist, GradDip Gestalt Therapy
Are you at a life transition point? New job, relationship starting or ending? A baby being born? A close person passing away? Transitions can feel overwhelming, but slowing things down in the therapy room can allow crowded pieces to be processed and a spaciousness to emerge.

Will Salter - Connected Man Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA member, L2 IFS trained, Diploma of Counselling
My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.
