Embrace Your Journey to Healing *
Choosing therapy is an act of care — a way of turning toward yourself with understanding. It’s important to me that you feel welcomed, heard, and supported with kindness and presence.
There are moments when life feels heavy, confusing, or too much to carry alone. Therapy offers a quiet, nurturing space to pause, notice what’s happening within, and explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with care and patience.
Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, especially at first — yet it often becomes a place of understanding and safety, where curiosity and compassion guide the way.
As we attend to what arises inside, new insights and clarity often ripple outward, helping life feel lighter, more grounded, and connected.
My Approach
I offer a compassionate, grounded presence as we work together, gently supporting you in connecting with your thoughts, feelings, and body. My approach is trauma-informed — I work alongside the strategies you’ve developed to cope, without judging what has happened in your life.
Drawing on mindfulness, somatic practices, and evidence-based approaches, therapy becomes a shared space where insight, self-compassion, and gentle growth can naturally emerge at a pace that feels right for you.
Grace is at the heart of my work — a gentle invitation to slow down, listen inwardly, and move at your own rhythm. Together, we create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you explore your inner world.
“Alana’s calm presence and genuine care make her an exceptional counsellor. I always leave feeling empowered and understood.”

What Our Work Together Might Look Like
*
What Our Work Together Might Look Like *
-
We begin by pausing, noticing your inner world, and creating a sense of safety together. I offer gentle support with grounding and regulation tools to help your nervous system settle, so your body and mind feel ready to explore what’s arising.
-
As trust develops, we gently notice the patterns, beliefs, and protective parts that shape your experience. This might involve tuning into emotions held in the body, reflecting on past experiences with kindness, or connecting with younger or emerging parts of yourself that long to be seen and heard.
-
Together, we explore how insights might translate into daily life — noticing small shifts, setting gentle boundaries, and trying new ways of relating. Over time, you may begin to feel a little more spacious, connected, and confident as you navigate life’s changes.
Individual therapy
A safe and supportive space to explore what’s arising in your inner world and reconnect with yourself. Sessions are collaborative, attuned, and paced around your nervous system, allowing you to move at a speed that feels right for you.

What We Can Work On Together
-
I combine neuroscience, mindfulness, psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and body-based approaches to gently support you in building confidence, nurturing self-awareness, and navigating anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or life transitions with patience and care.
-
Therapy offers space to explore how you relate to yourself and others, notice patterns such as people-pleasing, and develop healthy boundaries rooted in trust and compassion — including the therapeutic relationship itself.
-
Through mindful, embodied practices, we cultivate awareness and connection to the body. You’ll learn tools for emotional regulation, grounding, and resilience — blending traditional and evidence-based methods in a style that feels down-to-earth and compassionate.
-
A supportive space to explore purpose, map your values, spot sources of joy, clarify beliefs, and deepen your connection with yourself and your inner wisdom.
-
Cultivate body awareness and presence, develop tools for emotional regulation, and create sustainable practices to support grounding and connection with your thoughts, feelings, and body.
-
Together, we co-create a path forward using trauma-informed techniques designed for you. Therapy is about understanding the strategies you’ve used to cope, honouring your strength, and supporting your personal journey.
Therapy as a Safe Space
I believe therapy should be a non-judgmental space where you feel heard, seen, and understood. Our work together is a collaborative journey, where I provide a compassionate space and offer gentle support as you navigate challenges and re-discover your inner resilience.
