Schizophrenia
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 (including working in psychiatric secure units), I have a good understanding of various mental health diagnoses including schizophrenia and schizophrenia related disorders, 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 also am aware of the common negative experiences of receiving treatment from various mental health services and how experiencing that loss of empowerment can cause frustration, and self esteem issues.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties in dealing with schizophrenia related diagnoses 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.

Schizophrenia
Israel Berger
Counsellor/Therapist, MBBS, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
Psychosis can be scary, especially when you know there is something not right. It can also be quite traumatic. I have worked with people who have had a single episode of psychosis and people who have had many over many years. I have also experienced mild psychotic symptoms myself with my depression. Everyone has a different experience, but I have some idea of what you may be going through. My aim is to help you recognise early warning signs, gain insight into your experiences, and help you improve function despite schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or another form of psychosis. I help people who have experienced psychosis manage the distress that can accompany these experiences. I don't seek to change your beliefs but work with you to understand the core functions that beliefs have and that voices have for you. I seek to help you realise different ways of coping and understanding your experiences that can reduce distress and fear.
