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.
Due to my background in nursing and mental health, I have a good understanding of various diagnoses and how they impact the person and 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 the diagnosis, rather focusing on what you actually wish to discuss to use your session time in a way that fits best for you. If I have any question about the diagnosis etc, I will only ask specifically regarding that missing piece of information to assist my understanding so I can support you best.
I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of many health issues including chronic pain, which for many clients can be eliminated completely.
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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
Over the last 20 years I have worked extensively with sufferers of chronic fatigue and pain conditions such as ME, CFS, Adrenal Fatigue, Post-Viral Fatigue and fibromyalgia.
Leading edge scientific evidence suggests that symptoms of these conditions result from changes, irregularities or dysfunctions within the mid-brain and limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary system.
In academic terms this is known as the HPA axis, and is made up of the hypothalamus gland, located at the base of the brain; the pituitary gland, also located in the brain; and the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys. The hypothalamus links the nervous system and the endocrine system, it stimulates the pituitary gland to produce hormones and the adrenal gland to produce cortisol and epinephrine (commonly known as adrenaline).
The HPA axis is a major part of the neuroendocrine system that controls and regulates almost everything to do with human survival, including digestion and appetite, sleep cycles, the immune system, mood and emotions, sexual behaviour, body temperature, energy storage and expenditure. It also communicates with several regions of the brain, including the amygdala, which generates fear in response to danger, and with the hippocampus, which plays an important part in memory formation as well as in mood and motivation. In addition, the HPA axis forms part of a complex feedback system that is constantly responding to the environment both internally and externally. In response to the information it receives, the HPA axis regulates and controls the chemicals and hormones that affect body systems.
So what we can begin to see is that when irregularities are evident in these brain regions it wreaks havoc throughout the entire body – and this results in the experience of symptoms from mild to severe.
In order to recover from chronic fatigue and pain symptoms we need to understand and address the CAUSE of the irregularities within the HPA axis and mid-brain structures.
The first step in this process is to fully embrace the mind-body paradigm where we move away from the notion of the head and body, or psychological and physical, as being separate entities, rather we see them as one flowing interconnected system.
The next step is to redefine the nature of emotion, an energy in motion, and it’s role as a feedback mechanism within body and brain. As a complex physiological process, the emotional system directly modulates brain function. Blockages within the emotional system and the emotional memory system are coded within the mid brain structures. It is these blockages that result in hypothalamic and other mid brain irregularities and dysfunction.
My treatment protocol is underpinned by this new theoretical framework and understanding of the emotional system and it’s role, function and impact on the immune, endocrine and autonomic nervous systems via the HPA axis. The process involves implementing a series of tools and techniques that are designed to identify and unblock the emotional system and recode emotional memory.
Energy-Flow Coaching™ deals directly with the cause of symptoms and gives you the knowledge and guidance you need to take charge of your recovery and attain health and vitality.

Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
My question is if you break your leg, where is the pain? Actually, it's in your mind. The nerve receptors around the injury send messages to your brain, and your brain sends out pain messages. I really do not mean this to be facile, but all pain is interpreted by the mind. Even though pain is a real physical event, competent psychological therapy can help you process pain in such a way that you can still live your life in the way you would wish.

Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
Not all pain has its origin in the physiology of the body. Pain can be psychological and this can manifest in the body. There is ample scientific evidence for effectiveness of therapy in helping people manage the pain both physical and psychological. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.
