A Holistic Approach to PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION
Holistic
Counselling
This approach blends traditional counselling with complementary and alternative techniques. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of the emotional, physical, social, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing. Through guided conversation, mindfulness, and practical exercises, our counsellors help you find balance and regain control.
EFT Tapping (Emotional
Freedom Technique)
EFT is a powerful evidence-based technique that involves tapping specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on particular emotions or beliefs. It helps release emotional blockages, regulate the nervous system, and reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and PTSD.
Somatic
Psychotherapy
Somatic therapy works through the body to release held emotions and trauma. Using breathwork, body awareness, and gentle movement, it helps your nervous system return to a state of calm and safety. Clients often experience improved focus, better sleep, and greater emotional stability.
Each of these techniques can be incorporated into your individual session plan, ensuring a deeply personalised experience.
Coaching for Clarity and Purpose
Our holistic coaching sessions are designed to help you move from reflection to action.
Coaching focuses on identifying your goals, uncovering limiting beliefs, and creating sustainable habits that align with your values.
You might seek coaching to:
- Strengthen motivation and direction
- Improve communication and relationships
- Develop self-awareness and emotional intelligence
- Manage career or lifestyle transitions
- Build healthier routines and boundaries
Our coaches use practical frameworks to help you stay accountable while supporting your emotional and spiritual growth.
It’s a collaborative process that inspires you to reach your full potential and live with authenticity.

Meet Our Counselling and Coaching Team
Maggie Kenny
Alana is a registered psychologist who offers a down-to-earth, non-judgemental, and collaborative space to help people heal, grow, and understand themselves at a deeper level. She often works with individuals who appear to be functioning well on the surface — are thoughtful, capable and self-aware — but who are quietly feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, and exhausted on the inside.
Alana’s work is grounded in strong case formulation and the thoughtful, strategic use of evidence-based interventions that are tailored just for you. She is particularly skilled at noticing how things connect — your history, temperament, neurological style, schemas, coping style, and current life circumstances — and synthesising these into a clear and compassionate understanding of what is really going on for you. From there, she works with you to identify how you can best be supported in meeting your therapy goals in the most effective and sustainable ways possible.
Sessions with Alana feel relaxed and organic, while still being purposeful and intentional. Nothing is vague or random. There’s always a plan, and you’re always included in it.
She will quickly shows clients there is no hierarchy in the therapy room; you are equals, and therapy is teamwork. You think together, plan together, and occasionally laugh together, until you are celebrating your wins together. Mistakes are welcome. Confusion is allowed. Perfectionism can take a seat.
