Hi, I’m Alanna and I offer individual therapy sessions to adults at Cornerstone.

Setting aside time and giving space for experiences, thoughts and emotions to be felt, processed and understood can be powerful. I offer a non judgemental space to be curious together about you. This can be healing and understanding yourself better can help with making healthier choices and moving towards more self acceptance. My approach is psychodynamic, part of this work involves looking at how the past shapes the way we experience ourselves in the present, as well as in our relationships and our way of being in the world. Along with reflecting on unconscious feelings and belief systems that could be holding us back and causing emotional pain.

Art making can be a grounding and an enjoyable creative outlet for emotions and experiences that might not have words. Creativity is a natural way to connect us to our inner life and meaning. I have a range of art materials available. Whether you choose to use art materials in the session is your choice and I can help you get started. You needn’t have any experience with making art to be able to use the materials in a therapeutic manner as it is more about the process than how it looks.

If you are specifically interested in art therapy please book a session on either monday, friday or saturday as this is when I have the art supplies available.
