Alison Rogers , PACFA

Alison Rogers is a PACFA-credentialed counsellor practising in Australia with 10 years of private practice experience. PACFA denotes membership in the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, a national professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists. Over the past decade she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, and difficulties with anger.

She combines a trauma-informed perspective with a selection of evidence-based therapies, drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy and broader psychotherapeutic techniques to meet clients where they are. Alison describes her style as warm, compassionate and practical, and she aims to help people transform challenges and struggles into opportunities for growth.

Alison works with a wide range of concerns including blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She is also experienced in supporting midlife transitions, questions of life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth adjustments, and issues common to young adults and women.

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Recognising that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, Alison offers steady support throughout the therapeutic process.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Delivery

Alison uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; this structured approach is often used for stress, anxiety and mood concerns. Narrative therapy is another key approach she employs - it helps clients separate themselves from problems by exploring the stories they tell about their lives and then rewriting those narratives to support preferred outcomes. She also practices with a trauma-informed orientation that recognises how past adversity can shape current reactions and focuses on safety and pacing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Alison works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she regularly reviews progress to refine the plan together with the client.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which allows greater flexibility for scheduling and session format. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family or caregiving responsibilities and let clients choose the interaction style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent, evidence-based support across a variety of concerns.
