Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Our world values masculine values over feminine, which makes it tricky being a woman in the world. We're expected to be feminine (soft, caring and submissive) and masculine (career-climbers, bread-winners), both at the same time, and all while looking fabulous. It also causes many women to try to be men, because that is what is rewarded and respected.
I work with women who are wanting and ready to empower themselves as the woman they are in the world. We explore what the feminine means to you, where it's been disowned, where it's been allowed and how to bring more of it into your body and your life.

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 woman myself and having various life experiences myself along with listening to many, many other women's stories, I feel I have a good understanding of women's issues and how they can impact the person 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.

Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
Women face unique challenges around identity, relationships, career, and life transitions, especially after 45. My approach honours the complexity of women's experiences while helping you reconnect with your authentic self beneath societal expectations. We'll work with internalised messages about worthiness, perfectionism, and caregiving while strengthening your voice and agency.

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.
