Meet Alison Castillo

Hello and Welcome,


I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a home-based practice in the Redlands, Brisbane.

After a career in finance as well as being a devoted mother, I made a career change to fulfill my purpose to help others heal and grow so they can live their best life. I consider the whole of a person - mind, body and soul through a holistic therapeutic approach. All these aspects are important gateways to healing, growth and developing a greater understanding of who we are, what shapes how we think, relate and move through the world. This greater understanding of ourselves as well as incorporating awareness of the body, nervous system and lived environment, facilitates the opportunity for change and a better way forward.

Of paramount importance to my work is building strong, collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients through genuineness, compassion, understanding and non-judgement, so that a safe place is provided where people can talk openly and feel heard.

My Training and Background


I completed a Bachelor in Counselling and Psychotherapy at IKON Institute of Australia who provide a unique course offering a holistic understanding of the field and focus on treating the 'whole person', covering a wide range of therapeutic models and techniques including a specialised trauma approach that balances the mind, body and spirit.

Just as important is my lived experience of family, work, relationships, marriage, divorce, being a mother and my own journey of healing, growth and coming back to who I truly am and the life I want to live. All forming the basis of the depth, compassion, real world understanding and practicality that shape the way I work.
