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 neurodiverse diagnoses including ASD and how it can 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 then 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.

Tegan Bailey
Art Therapist, Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice
I offer neurodivergent-affirming creative arts therapy for Autistic youth (13+) and adults. As a late-identified AuDHDer, I understand the complexities of masking, identity and late recognition from lived experience as well as clinical training. Sessions move at a consent-aware pace and centre on artmaking rather than performance or explanation. There is no pressure to conform. Autonomy is supported through choice of materials, pacing and participation.

Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
As a neurodiversity affirming practice, many of my clients are neurodiverse. I tailor the therapies and approach I take to meet your specific needs and goals and have a deep understanding that no two neurodiverse individuals are the same. As a neurodiverse person myself, I understand the additional challenges and difficulties that come from existing in a society that was not built by or for us.
I work with you to understand how the colour of your difference presents challenges in your life, and work with you to identify solutions and strategies that make day to day life easier. I also know that people have many different ways of interacting, sensing and communicating so offer my neurodiverse clients (and anyone who needs it) choice and autonomy during therapy. This means that you can choose:
- In person or remote (tele or video)
- talking, writing or drawing (communication isn't just verbal)
- getting a copy of session synopsis to refer to after the session in case you forget
- doing practical exercises with me in session, or doing them between sessions in your own time
- getting written notes or diagrams of what we've discussed in session that you can refer to later
- modifying the physical environment based on your preference (e.g. lower light, music or no music, aromatherapy scents etc).

Mindnest Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Couns
I support autistic clients and families with anxiety, emotional regulation, relationships, identity, school or work stress, and the exhaustion that can come from trying to fit into environments that do not always feel supportive.
