If you’re struggling to maintain emotional well-being, facing challenges in navigating life’s complexities, or feeling stuck, you’re not alone — and support is available. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you move forward. My services also include support for complex grief, caregiver stress, memory assessments, and adjustment to medical or psychological diagnoses.

I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and to empower you as you work towards a more fulfilling life. My approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, and I am committed to supporting you to make sense of your life's journey - releasing what weighs you down and making space for light, clarity, and positive transformation. ​​
Psychological therapies offered across wide range of difficulties
Anxiety
My anxiety interventions are designed to help individuals understand and manage their anxiety effectively. I use evidence-based approaches to provide you with the tools and techniques to regain control and live a more balanced life.
Depression
At Allander Psychology, I offer compassionate support and effective strategies to individuals struggling with depression. My goal is to assist you in overcoming feelings of sadness and hopelessness, and to guide you towards a brighter and more hopeful future.
Trauma
Allander Psychology offers trauma-informed therapy to support individuals in processing and healing from traumatic experiences. My approach is centred on creating a sense of safety and empowerment as you work through the effects of trauma and move towards recovery.
Adjustment to diagnosis
Psychological intervention for adjustment to a life-changing diagnosis - whether this is cancer, chronic illness, neurological disease, or major injury - can be crucial in helping people cope with emotional, cognitive, and behavioural distress, enhance quality of life, and promote adaptive coping strategies. I use evidence-based interventions to help you understand and adjust to your diagnosis.
Carers support
Psychological intervention for carers offers vital emotional support and coping strategies to individuals who are providing care to others. These interventions can help caregivers manage stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation, allowing them to better handle the demands of their role. By providing a safe space to express your feelings and experiences, the interventions I offer fosters resilience and promotes mental well-being. I will support you to develop strategies to support the person you are caring for whilst maintaining your own wellbeing.
Complex grief
My interventions for complex grief offers a safe and compassionate space to allow structured, evidence-based support to help your process your loss in a way that promotes healing, acceptance, and peace.
Neuropsychological assessment
Formal neuropsychological assessment can be a valuable tool in understanding cognitive difficulties such as poor memory, concentration, or ability to plan and organise. This can help inform diagnosis, but also helps to develop strategies to support ability to attend to normal day activities by highlighting strengths and weaknesses you may have.
