Dr Allison King Psychologist (Provisional)

Dr Allison R. King is a provisionally registered psychologist and experienced clinical psychotherapist who brings warmth, insight, and deep care to her work with clients across all stages of life. With over a decade of experience in Australia and Europe, her practice is grounded in a strong belief that healing happens in safe, respectful, and relational spaces. Her training includes a Doctorate in Psychotherapy, a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology (Distinction), a Postgraduate Certificate in Neuroscience and Psychology from King’s College London, and a Master of Business Administration focused on organisational behaviour. She is also a Swiss-licensed psychotherapist, and a member of the APS, BPS, and PSI. Allison works with adults, couples, adolescents, and families. Many of her clients are navigating challenges like burnout, trauma, anxiety, complex relational histories, identity transitions, or experiences of cultural displacement. She has particular expertise in working with neurodivergent clients (ADHD and autism), those recovering from gender-based violence, and individuals with refugee or migrant backgrounds. She also works closely with couples using principles from the Gottman Method. Her approach is trauma-informed, spiritually sensitive when requested, and deeply human. She integrates evidence-based modalities such as CBT, schema therapy, ACT, and psychodynamic and systemic therapies—always tailored to the person in front of her, not a textbook. Whether working through grief, navigating faith questions, or rebuilding after trauma, Allison meets her clients with gentleness, curiosity, and respect for their lived experience. Through her doctoral research, she developed the concept of Transformative Acculturation, a model that explores how people reshape identity and relationships after trauma and cultural change. This work continues to inform her writing, consultation, and therapeutic work. Allison brings a quiet confidence and genuine compassion to every session. Her goal is to help clients feel understood, regain clarity, and begin to move forward—whether that’s in their mental health, relationships, or inner sense of self.
