Grounded Space Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Graduate Diploma Trauma Informed Processwork Psychotherapy (Process Oriented Psychology), Diploma Counselling, Somatic Experiencing Cert II/III
When it comes to social anxiety the client-therapist relationship is an integral part of healing and can within itself, serve as a supportive and validating resource throughout the therapeutic process, fostering a sense of trust and empowerment for clients as they work towards integrating all aspects of themselves for greater self-awareness and clarity. Social anxiety can be extremely impactful and debilitating to anyone who has experienced it. The fear of social situations and interactions can manifest in a variety of ways with symptoms ranging from sweating, trembling, rapid heart rate and difficulty speaking to a complete withdrawal from all social interactions. This can stem from a fear of being judged, embarrassed, or of being rejected by others to underlaying issues such as trauma and low self-esteem. I provide a safe, compassionate and understanding space to help support and completely guide you to identify the root cause of the anxiety and welcome you to reach out through whatever means of communication you feel comfortable, so we can schedule a time to have a chat.

I help clients with social anxiety by using Narrative Therapy to explore the stories and beliefs that contribute to feelings of fear or inadequacy in social settings.

I integrate Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to develop practical tools for managing anxiety in the moment and building emotional resilience.

Karen Seinor
Counsellor/Therapist, MACA
Anxiety is the most common mental health issue in Australia, with millions of us suffering from it. This may not be due to our environment or circumstances; studies have shown that brain chemicals play a major role in how we deal with stressful or difficult situations, and how anxious we generally can be.
This doesn’t mean that we’re stuck feeling this way. There are many strategies for managing anxiety and they are easy to learn.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), 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 can also utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor to assist you further where requested.
Social anxiety can be debilitating in hampering healthy, confident interaction with others and can lead to isolation and loneliness. I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from social anxiety 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.
