Working with couples and individuals is my area of interest. Helping couples to engage in more effective ways when problems are overwhelming, and helping individuals to experience new ways of viewing problems is a beginning to making things better. Developing an environment of trust and confidentiality is my primary focus, helping people feel safe in sharing their personal problems. Consider taking the time to spend on yourself and your relationships by booking an appointment at my home office located in Peterborough.

I imagine you arrived at this page because you or someone you care about is going through some difficult times. It takes courage to reach out and seek help; I hope to make this a little easier for you by providing the information you need to access my services. Acceptance and change are the key principles of my approach. This means helping clients to gain insight into their problems, identifying the things they have the power to change and developing willingness and skills to accept the things that are not in your control. My focus is to help you to build skills and apply strategies to facilitate positive change.

Are you feeling stressed? Overwhelmed? Stuck? Is your stress level negatively affecting the quality of your life? Perhaps it has shown up as a strained relationship or an inability to move forward.

Specializing in mindset and self-acceptance, I believe in a deeply personal, relationship-based experience that builds on the uniqueness of each person. Anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm, unhappiness, relationship struggles, and so on, are all too common for many of us and we can get caught up in the incorrect belief that our problems can’t change. We often don’t even realize the underlying narrative that’s determining what we think and believe.

You are struggling with a particular situation or relationship in your life. Maybe this is an unusual occurrence or perhaps this difficult situation has been in your life for a long time and has been of harm to you and to others. You are looking for ways to overcome your problems and achieve a balanced and happy life that comes with understanding and resolving them. You may be aware of some of the solutions but could benefit from discussing and taking action on the difficult patterns that limit your success in achieving and maintaining a fulfilled life.

Healthy relationships are the core of our lives. When an intimate partnership functions well, it gives us strength in all aspects of our lives. When problems in this core relationship arise, we can have the courage to reach out for help. With skilled help, our relationships can improve and we can deepen and enhance our strengths, communication, and conflict management skills.

I am looking for motivated clients who are willing to take action to resolve whatever needs to change in their life. My typical clients are looking for relief from stress, anxiety, depression, negative emotions, or difficult life situations. Some of them are struggling with compulsive behaviours and feel out of control. Others are in a relationship but things are not as good as they can be and they want more. Some of my clients are just looking to talk to someone who listens well, validates them and gives them another perspective. Sometimes they feel stuck and need tools, support and encouragement to help them move forward.

Allyson (and NorthStar Counselling Services) supports a wholistic approach to mental health: mind, body and spirit. Services are offered to children, youth and adults.

As a Registered Psychotherapist working with couples and adults of all ages, I specialize in the treatment of trauma. Therapy provides an opportunity to discuss how symptoms such as: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, addictions, and emotional volatility, can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Over and over I've witnessed people using therapy to feel safer in the world, more hopeful, and better able to reach their full potential in life, work, and in relationship with themselves and others. I am an experienced, empathic therapist and I collaborate to tailor therapy to meet each client's individual needs.

My goal is to help people function better.

My clients can count on me to treat them with unconditional regard, caring and acceptance, so they can work on their issues in a trusted counselling relationship. Clients come to me with depression, anxieties, relationship issues (personal or work related), grief, anger, trauma, and issues relating to life transitions. Many of my clients begin to enjoy their lives more again, and they realize that their unique treatment plan is sensitive to their unique needs. We know that in most cases our brains can change and heal, and knowing this extends hope and motivation for a client. We can meet via video counselling - easy, safe secure.
