Allison Duffy
Psychotherapy & Counselling        

I work holistically, bringing together a blend of therapeutic modalities and techniques tailored to each person’s unique journey. With a degree in Psychology and postgraduate training in Gestalt Psychotherapy, alongside qualifications in massage, Reiki, yoga, and meditation, I have developed a deep appreciation for the delicate and powerful balance between mind, body, and spirit.

​

For the past eight years, I have worked within the child protection space, gaining extensive experience in child and adolescent mental health. I’ve supported young people and teenagers facing a diverse range of mood, mental health, and behavioural challenges,  including ADHD, autism, addictions, abandonment, anxiety, and depression.

​

Understanding attachment disorders and their profound impact on children has been a key part of my work. Early attachment experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and others throughout life, often influencing our adult relationships and emotional wellbeing. This insight naturally flows into my psychotherapy practice, where I am passionate about inner child and shadow work and love to support others to heal, integrate and grow. 

​

I also provide support for individuals who have family members struggling with addiction or mental health issues. I understand how painful and isolating this experience can be, and I offer a safe, compassionate environment to process these challenges and build resilience.

​

In addition to my private practice, I currently work full-time on the Central Coast, NSW, as a Functional Family Therapist, supporting families and adolescents managing challenging emotional, behavioral and relationship problems.

Sessions are individually tailored, and we can decide together on the best course of therapy for you.  If you feel ready to begin or want to learn more, please call or send an email. I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.
