Penelope Aleyiannis
Licensed Professional Counsellor, B.Sc(Psych), M. Couns.
If you're navigating the aftermath of domestic abuse or violence, know that you're not alone—and healing is possible. As a counsellor with a specialisation in supporting survivors of domestic abuse, I provide a safe, confidential space where you can begin to reclaim your power and heal from the emotional, physical, and psychological impacts of abuse. Whether you’re currently in an unsafe situation, processing past trauma, or working to rebuild your life after leaving an abusive relationship, I offer trauma-informed therapy designed to empower you. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), I work with clients to address feelings of shame, fear, and low self-esteem, while also providing tools to rebuild trust, foster safety, and develop healthy relationship dynamics. Your healing journey is unique, and I am here to support you in finding strength, restoring your sense of self-worth, and helping you move forward with hope and resilience.

Domestic Abuse or Violence
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 restorative justice, family violence, sexual abuse and mental health, I have a good understanding of family violence and relationship harm issues and how they impact the person experiencing them as well as the person using those behaviours. I am able to utilise a psycho-educational approach to help you understand your inner feelings and experiences, and to learn practical strategies for greater safety and coping. I can also utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support healing of the underlying trauma of your experiences, without the need to discuss the details of the trauma. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self, leaving often the carried sense of shame behind.
My aim is to assist you with your 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.
