Men's Issues
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Many men carry pressure to have it all together. To be the provider, the protector, the one who doesn't struggle, even when underneath, something feels off. If you're ready to stop carrying that alone, let's work together to help you find a healthier way forward.
The first step in working with men's issues is understanding that needing support isn't weakness, it's a sign of strength and self-awareness. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore the pressures, patterns, and expectations that have shaped how you show up in the world, and build a more authentic, sustainable way of being. My approach is direct, and focuses on accountability, self-compassion, and permission to be fully human.
You don't have to do this alone. Let's take the first step toward a life that feels more honest and whole.

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 have vast experience listening to many, many men's life stories. Thus I feel I have a good understanding of men's issues and how they can impact you when experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your gender 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.

Dipak Jilka - Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – PACFA Reg. Clinical 26570
The word “man” is often assumed to simply mean someone with a penis. Yet being a man is shaped by powerful social expectations about strength, success, sexuality, emotional control and relationships. These messages can feel restrictive, confusing or overwhelming — particularly if you don’t naturally fit the traditional script.
Many people with male bodies struggle silently with the pressure to “be a certain kind of man.” This can show up as anxiety, anger, shame, depression, sexual difficulties, relationship problems or a persistent sense of not feeling enough. Often, these struggles are not about weakness, but about trying to live within expectations that don’t truly fit.
I offer a respectful, non-judgmental space where you can explore your own experience of masculinity — separate from cultural pressure or rigid definitions. Together, we can examine the beliefs you’ve inherited, understand how they may be shaping your life, and support you in developing a more grounded, authentic and emotionally connected way of being.
You don’t have to carry the weight of expectation alone. Therapy can be a place to rediscover who you are — not who you’ve been told to be.
