Hello, I’m Alison!
I’m a registered psychologist with over 15 years’ experience in the field. Since completing my Masters of Applied Psychology (Sport Psychology) in 2009, I have held positions in a range of clinical and non-clinical roles, including sport settings, injury management, organisational psychology and private practice.
In my time practising, I have had the privilege of assisting countless individuals and couples to overcome hurdles and improve their mental health and relationships.
Whilst I work with clients experiencing a range of difficulties, I have a special interest in supporting individuals and couples in the areas of perinatal mental health, workplace wellbeing, and sport and performance.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me with a coffee in hand embracing the chaos of parenting two young kids. Over the summer months, I love spending time on the Murray River sharing my passion for water skiing with family and friends.

Alison’s therapeutic style is described as warm, grounded, and collaborative, with a strong emphasis on tailoring treatment to meet the unique needs of each client. She draws from a range of evidence-based therapies, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Acceptance & Commitment Therapу (AСT)
Mindfulness-based practices

Couples Therapy
Alison works with couples at any juncture in their relationship – whether they are navigating the transition into parenthood, in the midst of a crisis, or wanting to deepen their connection.
Alison is trained in the Gottman Method (Level 2) and integrates both Gottman and EFT approaches to help couples break unhealthy relationship patterns and develop new ways of communicating.
