Allana is a registered psychologist, clinical psychology registrar, and board-approved supervisor with over a decade of experience supporting adults and couples through a wide range of challenges. She has worked extensively with issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and perinatal concerns. Allana is particularly passionate about helping women and mothers navigate the complexities of identity, prenatal and postnatal mental health, feelings of loneliness, fertility challenges, grief and loss, birth preparation, birth debriefing, as well as bonding and attachment difficulties.

Central to Allana's approach is her person-centred philosophy, where she tailors therapy to meet the unique needs of each client. She believes that a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of meaningful change. By creating a space that is safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental, Allana ensures clients feel supported and understood as they explore their vulnerabilities and work through their challenges.

Allana’s primary therapeutic modalities include schema therapy and emotion-focused therapy (EFT), though she is also highly skilled in eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and the Gottman Method. Through comprehensive assessment and tailored experiential techniques, Allana helps clients uncover and address their emotional needs, develop tools for emotional safety, and cultivate a stronger sense of self.

At the heart of Allana’s work is her commitment to empowering clients to create lasting change and achieve a deeper sense of contentment and emotional wellbeing. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside people on their journey of healing and growth.

Allana has completed a Bachelor of Psychology and Business (Human Resources), a Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology, a Graduate Diploma of Professional Psychology, and a Master of Clinical Psychology. Allana is also deeply committed to her ongoing professional development, ensuring that she continues to offer the highest standard of care to those she cares for.

Allana holds her registration with the Australian Board of Psychology and is a proud member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi) and the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
