Testimonial
Counseling
| "A Turning Point in Our Lives – Thank You, Alison After years of litigation and being silenced in a system that often failed to recognise the impact of coercive control and domestic violence, Alison was the first family therapist to truly see my daughters — not just their anger, but the pain and trauma behind it. She was the first professional to value their voice and mine, to name the narcissistic and overtly abusive behaviour we had endured, and to acknowledge the deep trauma that had shaped our lives. Alison said "Stop" — and that moment marked the beginning of our journey toward freedom and peace. Her involvement in our case was a turning point. She didn’t just treat symptoms — she understood the root causes. She made us feel really and truly seen and heard for the first time. With incredible insight, expertise, and compassion, she helped us untangle years of emotional abuse. She is the only therapist who has been able to guide my eldest daughter through her anger and trauma, and into healing. Alison works with a rare combination of professional brilliance and genuine humanity. She is kind, respectful, real, and unwavering in her commitment to protecting and empowering those affected by family violence. Thanks to her, we found our voice. Thanks to her, we found our peace. She helped save us — and set us free." |
| "Alison helped me deal with a range of challenges in my life with practical tools, great compassion and good humour, I had been turned off counselling before, but decided to give it another go-and was lucky to find Alison. She made me feel safe and comfortable to express what was going on... She is also great fun, and we shared a lot of laughs while dealing with some heavy topics." |
