A more balanced way to live

Teresa Mallon, Soul Centred Psychotherapist

Individual psychotherapy and weekly Dream Groups are offered.

‘In individual psychotherapy and weekly dream groups, I offer a supportive safe environment to explore and discover the complex parts of who we are. In the exploration of self, resources are developed and strengthened, to allow for a more balanced way to live.’

Teresa has been practicing since 1996 in St Kilda, Cheltenham and Woodend. Her areas of interest lie in low self-esteem and depression, relationship issues, individual, group and couple therapy, and dream groups. She has trained in psychotherapy, bilateral stimulation processing, and trance.

Soul Centred Psychotherapists use Jungian Psychology, which refers to myths and children’s fairytales as the collective human experience. Through deeper exploration, supported by dream work, these act as a template to give more contentment in our lives.

Using various tools attend to the self discovery of the client’s personal story of the inner child’s experience, these experiences can be linked to the decisions we make today as adults. This can sometimes involve the processing of unresolved trauma which can allow the reduction of stress in life. By honoring the child using art therapy, visualization, story and bilateral stimulation processing, a more receptive adult can emerge and stand firmly in the ground of their own life.

Teresa offers a friendly warm, open and sometimes humorous relationship to clients, which creates intimacy and trust as the building block for transforming therapy. She says 20 years ago after reading John Bradshaw’s book Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child, a light went on and she started her life’s journey to explore how to reach her inner child and how to help others do that. “My 3 sons are a constant reminder of the richness and experience of intimacy I have everyday”.
