Allyson Iriarte, PACFA

Allyson Iriarte is a counsellor based in Australia with five years of professional experience supporting people through relationship challenges, intimacy concerns and parenting difficulties. She also works with clients who struggle with concentration, memory and focus related to ADHD, and with common presenting issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and coping with life changes. Allyson approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to suit the individual needs of the client.

Her practice emphasises practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the situation at hand, and she aims to help clients find clearer ways to manage emotions, improve communication and build coping strategies. Allyson is credentialed with PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, which reflects her standing within the Australian counselling community.

Allyson recognises that beginning therapy can take courage and she affirms clients for taking that first step. She works collaboratively to design a plan that fits each person’s goals and circumstances, with attention to sensitivity around trauma, family dynamics and issues such as addiction, self-esteem and attachment.

Evidence-based approaches and online support for relationships and focus

Allyson uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to relationship and attachment concerns, focusing on patterns that affect intimacy and communication and helping clients develop clearer ways to relate and repair connections. She also uses practical, skills-focused strategies to support people with concentration and focus difficulties related to ADHD, teaching coping strategies and routines that improve day-to-day functioning. For clients affected by trauma, grief or family conflict, Allyson offers trauma-informed, supportive approaches that aim to reduce distress and help rebuild coping resources.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allyson works with each client to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, and adjusts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the chosen methods fit the person’s circumstances and values.

Online therapy with Allyson is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving or health challenges. These options make it easier to access consistent support from appropriately qualified or registered professionals without travel, and they allow sessions to be scheduled around daily life to maintain continuity of care.
