Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
In the realm of grief and loss, it is essential to understand that these experiences are multi-layered and complex. One must recognise that grief and loss often maintain their significant impact over time, meaning the ‘size’ of the loss remains ‘big’ thus, the process of healing through grief entails growing around that loss. Clients are provided with the tools and support to navigate their intricate emotions and the challenges that accompany bereavement and loss. Through the application of evidence-based practice (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, clients are guided in working through their grief and adjusting to their loss, ultimately fostering emotional healing and resilience. Be it coping with the loss of a loved one, managing life transitions, or addressing other forms of grief, the goal remains consistent: to steer clients towards a path of acceptance and a positive reconnection with life.

Dimitri's experience extends to conducting psychological assessments and offering counselling support to Victims of Crime through (VOCAT), clients associated with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Workcover clients, and those covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and has previously provided psychological support within prison settings.

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 supported many people with various forms of loss and grief experiences in their life, and how this impacts them on a daily basis. Grief and loss over time when not resolved, can cause an unrelenting sense of despair and emotional pain leaving you feeling lost and stuck in that pain. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment despite your loss, 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.

Penelope Aleyiannis
Licensed Professional Counsellor, B.Sc(Psych), M. Couns.
Grief can feel overwhelming, whether you're mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a significant life change. As a counsellor specialising in grief and loss, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for you to process your emotions, honour your experience, and find ways to move forward at your own pace. I understand that grief is deeply personal, and no two journeys are alike. Through evidence-based approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques, I help clients navigate the complexities of grief, address feelings of loneliness or confusion, and rebuild a sense of meaning and purpose. Together, we’ll work through the pain, celebrate the memories of what’s been lost, and explore how you can heal and integrate your grief into a life that honours your experience while embracing new beginnings. You don’t have to face this alone—I'm here to support you through each step of your healing process.
