Allison Rossiter

Perhaps you’re finding yourself in another “Why does this keep happening?” moment, exhausted by trying to keep up with the demands of a harsh inner critic, or feeling stuck, disconnected, or even wondering if something in you is “broken.” Or perhaps nothing is obviously wrong, but you have a sense that something isn’t quite right.

You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on. We can begin with whatever feels most important to you and explore it together.

My integrative approach is relational and trauma-informed, drawing primarily on psychodynamic and Gestalt perspectives. I also incorporate somatic awareness, polyvagal theory, creativity, CBT and IFS as appropriate. Together, we explore the patterns that shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships and our lives, including ways of responding that may once have helped us but no longer serve us, and begin to notice what becomes possible when we respond differently.

For me, counselling is a space to slow down, become more curious about yourself, make sense of your experiences and develop greater self-trust, resilience and agency. My hope is that through our work together you can begin to have more choice in how you understand yourself, relate to others and respond to your life.

If you’d like to connect and see whether we might be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch for a free half-hour chat.
