Working with Paul Gale-Baker
B.A., Dip.Ed., M.Couns. Clinical Member C.A.P.A.V.

I am a highly qualified and experienced counsellor and therapist in private practice in the suburb of Alphington, Melbourne, Australia.

I am trained in family therapy, family-sensitive counselling and couple therapy. I hold a Master of Counselling degree (La Trobe). Other training includes the study of deeper individual therapy, including the Voice Dialogue Method (a communication and self-exploration tool), which I teach to health care professionals throughout Australia.

I am committed to ensuring the work I do is effective and meets best-practice standards. To this end I maintain an ongoing professional development program, including study of the latest research. In my Masters degree I completed new research into couples’ therapy.

My deep interest in relationship counselling is also informed by my personal life. As a husband, and as a father and step father of adult children, I am profoundly aware of the importance of good relationship for the health of couples and families.

In addition to my practice, I am a Director of the Australian Institute for Relational Training, which provides training for healthcare professionals, as well as courses in relationship and personal growth for members of the public. I speak publicly and write on issues of relationship.

I am the author of Relationship Essentials and co-author of Developing a Truly Intimate Relationship, both available as Ebooks.

I am a clinical member of the Counsellors’ and Psychotherapists’ Association of Victoria (CAPAV), a member organisation of the Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia. I am bound by the ethical code of these organisations. You can find out more about these organisations by visiting their websites:

My practice is located at 514 Heidelberg Road, Alphington. Sessions are arranged by booking only.
