Alice Paton (She/her)Counsellor

clinic location

Overview

Hi there! I'm Alice Paton. I have worked in the mental health space for 8+ years and am currently working as a counsellor. Some of my background experience has been primarily with adults, young people, and families in early intervention, suicide prevention, and in mental health education. Taking a holistic approach to care, I aim to guide clients to explore themselves with curiosity and an open mind. It is my goal to guide clients to uncover root causes, rather than just symptom management. To feel safe and comfortable to express themselves, expand their mind, speak to their true identity, and walk with their head held high. I enjoy supporting people to connect back into their own intuition to create balance in their lives. I believe that connection and empathy are essential to create a trusting therapeutic relationship. I focus on providing a safe and caring space for clients, and I invite them to lean into this space with me.
