Alicia is a Clinical Family Therapist and Counsellor in Rothwell who is passionate about helping families and individuals better understand themselves within their relationships as they navigate life’s challenges. Her approach focuses on exploring each person’s unique experience through the lens of their key relationships, uncovering the broader patterns and disruptions that may cause tension or pain.
My approach to therapy considers the full spectrum of a person’s life, family, work, friendships, and health, recognising how interconnected these domains are. This allows clients to feel truly seen and understood in context.
Relational Insight: I specialise in helping individuals and families understand themselves through their relationships. I help clients to identify patterns, tensions, and disruptions within relational networks is a powerful asset in guiding clients toward clarity and healing.
Calm Communication Coaching: I help clients reduce reactivity and foster calmer, more intentional interactions. This is especially valuable in high-stakes relationships like parent-child or couples, where emotional intensity can cloud understanding.
Mental Health Integration: Your knowledge of mental health issues complements your work as a marriage counsellor, allowing you to support clients with both relational and psychological challenges across their life span.
As a clinical family therapist and counsellor, the most fulfilling part of my work is helping people uncover deeper self-awareness through the lens of their relationships. I believe that our connections, with partners, children, parents, friends, and colleagues, shape how we experience life. When those relationships feel strained or imbalanced, it can affect our wellbeing in profound ways.
I’m passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families through life’s transitions with compassion and clarity. Whether you’re navigating a stressful season, rebuilding communication, or seeking emotional balance, I offer a holistic approach that considers your entire relational network. Watching clients move from tension to understanding, from reactivity to calm, and from confusion to confidence is what makes this work so meaningful to me.
Everyone deserves support as they grow and I’m here to walk alongside you on that journey.
A couple came to me feeling stuck in a cycle of arguments and emotional distance. They were both overwhelmed, juggling work, parenting, and unresolved tension from past experiences. Each felt unheard and misunderstood, and their reactions to one another had become increasingly defensive.
In our sessions, we began by exploring how each partner experienced the relationship individually. We looked at their communication patterns, family backgrounds, and stressors outside the relationship, like work pressures and social expectations. This holistic view helped them see that their conflict wasn’t just about each other, but about how life’s demands were affecting their connection.
We worked on calming reactivity, building emotional safety, and practicing new ways of expressing needs without blame. Over time, they began to listen with empathy, respond with intention, and reconnect with the values that first brought them together.
