About me

My practice
You will notice significant progress after about three sessions with long-lasting changes.
I am Alpha Ponce. I offer my professional services in English and Spanish. I have experience in assisting people with ongoing problems with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, DV, relationship difficulties, homesickness, addiction and relationship and couples therapy. I have also assisted immigrants who are vulnerable as a result of migration.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or your ability to function is limited? Have you suffered trauma and you think this is holding you back from living your best life? Do you feel that you need better communication, resolution skills and a strengthened bond between you and your significant one? Are you an immigrant struggling to find your feet in Australia? which can have an impact on your mental health, such as confidence and sense of self-worth. My approach is to discover what your emotions or physical symptoms are trying to tell you, and how you can listen to them to get clarity in the answers that you need and the direction you wish.

I have a degree in Psychology in Mexico, and in Australia, I am a Psychotherapist and Emotion Focused relationship therapist (EFT). Also, I have a Master’s degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy, training in Emotion Focused Therapy for relations and in working with addiction and trauma. Family Constellations

I have an unique cultural perspective. As an immigrant woman, I understand the many challenges that life presents as an immigrant. I have experiences of “othering”, exclusion and isolation that directly impact our mental health, confidence and sense of self-worth.
By examining your feelings and the conditions around them, you will learn how to understand and accept your emotions, feelings and behaviours with empathy. Reaching this platform of emotional awareness will allow you to access and embrace your inner wisdom to begin transforming your life.
