I’m Alana Russell, an Accredited Social Worker and trauma-informed therapist in private practice. I provide compassionate, evidence based counselling to individuals, couples, families, first responders, and veterans both online Australia-wide and in-person in Caringbah & Surry Hills, Sydney. My work focuses on helping people heal from trauma, manage stress and burnout, strengthen relationships, and build meaningful resilience so they can feel lighter, more grounded, and back in control of their lives.
