Get multiple columns with counts from one table.

Hi,
From two columns in my table I want to get a unified count for the values in
these columns.
As an example, two columns are:

Table: reports
| type | place |
-----------------------------------------
| one | home |
| two | school |
| three | work |
| four | cafe |
| five | friends |
| six | mall |
| one | work |
| one | work |
| three | work |
| two | cafe |
| five | cafe |
| one | home |

If I do:
SELECT type, count(*) from reports
group by type

I get:
| type | count |
----------------------------------
| one | 4 |
| two | 2 |
| three | 2 |
| four | 1 |
| five | 2 |
| six | 1 |

Im trying to get something like this: (one column with my types grouped
together and multiple columns with the count vales for each place)
I get:
| type | home | school | work | cafe | friends | mall |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| one | 2 | | 2 | | | |
| two | | 1 | | 1 | | |
| three | | | 2 | | | |
| four | | | | 1 | | |
| five | | | | 1 | 1 | |
| six | | | | | | 1 |

which would be the result of running a count for every place like this:
SELECT type, count(*) from reports where place = 'home'
group by type
SELECT type, count(*) from reports where place = 'school'
group by type
SELECT type, count(*) from reports where place = 'work'
group by type
SELECT type, count(*) from reports where place = 'cafe'
group by type
SELECT type, count(*) from reports where place = 'friends'
group by type
SELECT type, count(*) from reports where place = 'mall'
group by type

Is this possible with postgresql???

Thanks in advance.
