Meet Ally — Your Guide to Discovery
After more than twenty years supporting people within education and emotional wellbeing, I understand how easy it can become to lose yourself beneath pressure, responsibility and the constant demands of everyday life.
Awaken Discovery was created to offer a compassionate, grounded space where you can pause, feel heard and begin reconnecting with yourself again. Using an integrative humanistic approach, I support individuals, couples and young people navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, relationships, low self-worth and life transitions.
Therapy is not about being "fixed." It is about creating space to understand yourself with greater compassion, clarity and emotional safety.

A Space to Feel Heard, Supported and Understood
Therapy is not about having everything figured out. It is about creating space to pause, reflect and begin understanding what your mind, body and emotions may have been carrying for far too long. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship difficulties or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can offer support, clarity and space to breathe again.

What others say
Therapy Can Help You Feel Less Alone in What You Are Carrying
Many people come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Over time, they often describe feeling calmer, more self-aware and more able to navigate life with greater clarity and compassion towards themselves.
When I first met Allyson, I felt totally at ease with her — she made me feel so comfortable, and straight away I was able to share my situation. She helped me address things in my past and present which I had never thought about before, and gave me positive ways to deal with it, including my anxiety and wine intake. I have now learnt how to listen to myself and follow her professional advice, which has put me back in to such a happy place thanks to Allyson. I will continue to see her on a monthly basis as I feel she is good for my wellbeing. Thank you, Allyson — may it continue.
— Counselling client
I couldn't recommend Allyson any more highly. She has a kind and caring nature that means it is easy to talk with her. What makes her great is her ability to get me to really clarify my thoughts so that I can express how I am thinking and feeling. Thank you, Allyson, for all the help you have given me!
— Counselling client
Very easy to speak to about anything, always put me at ease and helped put things into perspective. Felt a lot lighter after speaking with her and more able to face life's challenges.

The counselling sessions have helped me untangle some of the emotions I have regarding my family.
