Allanah Johnson

Hi, my name is Allanah, I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist who specialises in working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families. 

I have a passion for nurturing young minds and offering support through challenging life events towards good mental health and well-being by providing a safe and therapeutic space to enable children, adolescents and young people to tell their own unique stories.

As a parent, carer, or guardian it can be very difficult to see and witness your child, adolescent or young person struggling with their mental health. I can offer my support and guidance through my integrative counselling and psychotherapy practice.

My Approach

I work with an integrative framework that enables me to draw from different therapeutic theories and practices such as a psychodynamic approach, attachment theory and non-directive play therapy, to ensure that each therapy session is unique for every individual client.

The root of my practice is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship offering a person-centred approach to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental, confidential, safe, an empathic space for your child or adolescent and where they can start to make sense of their feelings and experiences. 

I offer the opportunity to talk combined with the creative arts including clay, sand, paint, and ink alongside accessing play therapy resources for younger children. 

I offer a free introductory chat by phone for parents and carers. This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about my therapeutic approach , to speak to me about your child or adolescent’s mental health and the short term or long term support you would require.
