Allison Duffy
Psychotherapy & Counselling        

I work holistically, bringing a mix of modalities and techniques to sessions. I have a degree in psychology and a postgrad in Gestalt psychotherapy, and also have qualifications in massage, reiki, yoga and meditation. This beautiful mix has given me an extraordinary appreciation of the delicate balance between the mind, body and spirit.

 

For the last 8 years I have worked therapeutically in the community services sector which has given me a plethora of experience in the mental health space. I have experience working with children, teenagers, adults and families living with a diverse range of mood, mental health and behavioural issues such as ADHD, autism, addictions, anxiety and depression.

 

Sessions are individually tailored and I utilise my knowledge and experience of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), as well as Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, and Gestalt Therapy styles. 

​

I love supporting others though inner-child and shadow work, reintegrating vulnerable younger versions and parts of themselves, and giving old patterns and stories new meanings. Somatic experiencing beautifully complements the Gestalt-style approach I bring to individual sessions, making for deep healing and long-lasting change. 

 

I can also help those who have family members going through addictions and mental health issues, and understand the anguish this situation can have on individuals as well as family relationships.

If you feel some resonance and are ready to explore, integrate, heal and grow, then I'd be honoured to accompany you on your journey.
