Borderline Personality Disorder
Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with many people with BPD working with people with this diagnosis is a passion for me. I believe people living with BPD are often left untreated as there are very few professionals who have the capacity & desire to work within this speciality. That's why it is important to me that I provide this service.

Borderline Personality Disorder
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 restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of personality disorder issues and how they impact the person including the potential impacts for those around them. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner emotions better and learn practical strategies to support increased emotional regulation skills, along with specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the often underlying trauma without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your anger difficulties to restore balance, happiness and inner peace (using the 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.

Online in Wellington, New Zealand
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.
