Welcome to
Allison Martin Counselling

I have been a social worker for 15 years, working primarily with families in crisis.  I have worked with parents struggling with mental health and addictions, trauma, and many experiencing domestic violence.  I have worked with children and youth who are struggling with mental health and behavioural challenges, trauma, and separation from family.  

 

I have both professional and personal experience with parenting, separation and divorce, post-separation conflict, as well as navigating the unique challenges of blended families.  The focus of my work is on strengthening relationships, including the one with ourselves which is crucial to our wellbeing and often overlooked. 

 

I would love to meet you and learn about your life and aspirations.  Your experience is unique, and you have overcome so many obstacles already! Everyone feels a bit lost at times and sometimes we need a little guidance to think about things differently or try something new.  Drawing from an array of ideologies and approaches, we can find out what works best for you to overcome any challenges you may be facing, restore harmony to your life and relationships, and find the courage to stop dreaming about your best life and start living it!
