Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Living with ADHD can feel like your brain is working against the systems everyone else seems to move through with ease — deadlines missed, follow-through that falls apart, a constant undercurrent of "why can't I just do this." If that sounds familiar, let's work together to help you build a life that actually fits how your mind works.
The first step in working with ADHD is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you — your brain is simply wired differently, and most of the world wasn't built with that wiring in mind. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore the patterns getting in your way and develop strategies rooted in how you actually think and function, not how you're "supposed to." My approach focuses on self-compassion, practical structure, and working with your strengths instead of against them.
You don't have to keep white-knuckling your way through. Let's take the first step toward a rhythm that finally feels sustainable.

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.
Due to my background in nursing and mental health, I have a good understanding of ADHD and other neurodiverse diagnoses and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them required to support them. This makes it easier for you to not feel you need to provide detailed explanation of the diagnosis, instead focusing on the issues you wish to focus on to utilise your session in a way that works best for you. I am always happy to only specifically clarify what may be unique to you so I can best support your needs.
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.

Wellington is New Zealand's compact capital city and home to the national public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government and policy careers — including burnout, moral injury, and the pressures of politically visible work. The city has a high concentration of university-educated professionals who generally view therapy as a normal part of self-care, and demand for longer-term therapeutic work is relatively strong. Wellington Regional Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, and the inner suburbs. Wellington's smaller size relative to Auckland means specialist therapist availability can be limited, and telehealth has become an important option for residents seeking a specific type of match.
