In safe spaces, we don’t just heal, we remember how to grow…

Malinda Um, accredited therapist at Equinox Wellbeing

Welcome

I’m Malinda, Australian Accredited Social Worker and founder of Equinox Wellbeing.

Equinox Wellbeing Leaf

Equinox Wellbeing was created with a simple intention, to offer a space where people can slow down, make sense of what they’re carrying, and reconnect with themselves in ways that feel steady and empowering.

With over ten years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities across clinical, educational, and humanitarian settings. My career has included counselling in schools, frontline emergency response work, and supporting refugees and asylum seekers, particularly survivors of torture and trauma. These experiences have shaped my commitment to culturally responsive, community-informed care and strengthened my belief in people’s capacity for growth and agency.

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practice, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, and somatic-informed techniques. I work collaboratively, recognising that mental health is influenced by relationships, culture, and broader systems. I believe mental health care is a right, not a privilege.

If you’d like to explore working together, you’re welcome to get in touch.
