Hi, I’m Alana
As a Clinical Psychologist my goal is to create a safe, connected space in which to explore the stories, perspectives, and sensitivities, of those I see.
I love working within relationships, with young people and couples - as this is where my blend of compassion, knowledge, relational insight, and evidence-based skills are most effective.
Navigating unexpected transitions, traumatic events, longstanding differences or loneliness, are all part of the human experience. We know that it’s not what we've gone through that defines us, but how we’ve experienced it and what happens afterward that shapes whether we struggle, feel stuck, or grow stronger.
It's during our most difficult times that we need to be heard, seen and understood. And that is when growth becomes possible.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, mood struggles, trauma, or relationship betrayals, I am here. Whatever that looks like, we'll start, find the glimmers, and go from there.
Couples Therapy

Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of comfort but when things feel disconnected, conflictual, or stuck, they can also be one of our greatest sources of pain. I provide a warm, supportive space where couples can better understand the patterns they're caught in, strengthen emotional connection, and find new ways of responding to one another. My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), a highly effective, evidence-based model that helps couples move beyond recurring arguments and disconnection by addressing the underlying emotions and attachment needs driving these patterns. Together, we'll work to create greater safety, trust, responsiveness, and closeness in your relationship.

I provide a safe, compassionate space for children who have experienced trauma, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or other difficult life experiences. Using evidence-based approaches including EMDR and play-based therapy, I help young people process what has happened, strengthen emotional regulation, build resilience, and develop a greater sense of safety and connection. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, supporting them to understand the impact of trauma, strengthen their relationship with their child, repair ruptures, and feel confident in providing the secure base their child needs to heal and thrive.
THERAPY FOR TEENS

THERAPY FOR TEENS
Adolescence can be a challenging time, with increasing pressures from school, friendships, family, identity. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where teenagers can explore what's going on, develop practical coping strategies, and build confidence in themselves.
I work with adolescents experiencing anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, low mood, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions, incorporating approaches such as EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based strategies to help them process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and move towards the life they want to live.
