Improving mental & emotional
health.
Hi, I'm Alison.
With over 30 years of experience as a counsellor, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through life’s hardest moments and biggest changes. My practice supports Clinical Supervision and debriefing, Workers Compensation clients, NDIS participants, and private clients, and is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care. I bring a trauma-informed, person-centred approach to help you feel safe, heard, and supported—no matter where you're starting from.
​
Counselling isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about giving yourself space to heal, reflect, and grow.
Whether you're dealing with stress, injury, relationship challenges, grief, or mental health concerns, therapy can help bring clarity, reduce overwhelm, and build new ways of coping. It’s also a place to rediscover your strengths, make sense of tough experiences, and move toward a life that feels more like your own. I offer sessions in person or via the secure online platform Microsoft Teams, so support is accessible no matter where you are.
​
You are welcome here.
This is a calm, non-judgmental space where you're free to show up exactly as you are. Whether you're navigating the system, working through trauma, or just needing someone to talk to—you're not alone. I’m here to support you, at your pace, in your way.
