Are you up at 2:00 A.M?

  • Grappling over whether to separate or divorce?

  • Reeling from the fall-out of an affair, emotional cheating, or something that violated trust?

  • Struggling to communicate? Feel like you're speaking different languages?

  • Navigating the nuances of a cross-cultural relationship?

  • Deciding whether to marry? How about
    pre-marital counselling?

  • Thinking about whether to have a baby? Another one?

  • Pondering what to do about your sexless marriage?

  • Considering “opening” up your marriage?

Couples counselling covers a spectrum of challenges and situations as diverse, complex, and unique as those experiencing them.

Please get in touch and let me know what you want support with, and I will respond with either a green light to working together or send you an idea for what support might be best.  

In couples counselling, I primarily use Relational Life Therapy (RLT), created by Terry Real. In my experience, this is the most effective form of therapy for transformational, sustainable change in relationships. I’m honored to be the first in Asia to be certified in RLT.

INVESTMENT

For an initial session, I meet with couples for 60 minutes. After this initial consultation, I can suggest the frequency of sessions based on needs.

  • What can I expect from our work together?

    No formulas. No fluff. No labels. No judgment. No chasing superficial happiness. You can expect me to show up fully to sessions with the assumption that what you’re navigating emotionally we can transform. You can also expect that although I don’t believe in the power of positive, perky thinking, I am confident that the fog you’re experiencing now will lift.

    With what types of clients do you work best?

    I work well with clients who are into self-growth. I also work well with people who are kind; have a sense of humor; values creativity as I don’t use pre-cooked methods in my therapy; men and women; couples; no kids or family therapy, though. Additionally, I work well with people who want to engage in a collaborative approach - they are well invested in the process of therapy and not looking for someone to fix them.

    As a therapist, do you work with a range of diagnoses including bipolar, schizophrenia, and PTSD?

    The only diagnosis I provide is “Human”. I’m not trained to work with people who have been diagnosed with severe mental illness; I don’t work with treatment plans intended to treat mental illness. If I feel you might benefit from working with a clinician, then I will make that recommendation, but I don’t hold any responsibility in the assessment or treatment of mental illness.

    Do you do virtual sessions? What if I live in another country and want to work with you?

    Yes. I am based in Singapore so this means that as long as the time zones align, I am happy to work with people virtually. I use Zoom as my platform, and I work with an international clientele. Should you reside or find yourself in Singapore, I offer in-person sessions at a lovely space in the Central Business District.

    Do you offer one-off sessions?

    Yes. Please contact me directly to discuss the possibility of a one-off session. Usually, these aren’t recommended as sustainable changes come from consistent efforts, yet there are of course exceptions. An initial session is also required before purchasing a package of three sessions.

    What’s your cancellation notice policy?

    I require 24 hours to reschedule. This goes in both directions - if you cancel less than 24 hours of a scheduled session, then you forfeit the session; if I cancel the session with less than 24 hours of a scheduled session, then I will add a session to your package.

    Do you offer refunds?

    No. Barring extreme circumstances, payments are non-refundable. From the payment date, you have six months to use the balance. Even though I don’t allow refunds, I do allow you to transfer your balance to people you know. In other words, unused sessions you may gift to someone.

“Allison worked with us whilst we were struggling with infidelity and was an invaluable support. Her warm and intellectual approach was empowering and helped us to re-connect on a deep level.

She became a word-of-mouth sensation and has continued to support my husband and a growing list of friends through various challenges, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly”
