Bianca Winter-Mallari

Counselor

“A trauma informed counsellor and integrative somatic therapist, providing individual therapy for adult childhood trauma survivors in their recovery from CPTSD. I host a podcast for trauma survivors, Healing CPTSD, available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts. You can find my practice Embodied Self Therapy on social media.”

About Me

I support adult childhood trauma survivors in their recovery from CPTSD. As a trauma-informed counsellor and integrative somatic therapist, I guide you to gently process past experiences. We explore how trauma impacts your body and mind, finding practical ways to move towards stability. This approach offers a safe space for deep, embodied healing. It’s for those seeking to transform their past and rebuild a sense of peace within themselves.

Approach

Therapy focuses on attuning to present‑moment sensations and the stories they carry, then turning gentle curiosity into concrete steps for regulation. In Sydney sessions or online in English, I pace work to your readiness, blending somatic practices with mindful noticing and short between‑session exercises. Sessions feel collaborative and steady: we track reactions, practice simple body‑based skills, and build a personalised rhythm that supports safety and gradual change. This way tends to help adults recovering from early harm who want sustained, embodied progress.
