Caring for the people who care for our community.
Welcome to Let It Go Psychology. If you spend your days holding space for everyone else, this is a space to be held yourself.
Allison Welch is a senior Clinical Psychologist with more than twenty years across mental health and disability. She supports the caregivers of our community: healthcare workers, teachers and educators, carers, and women navigating burnout, trauma, reproductive health and the pressure of holding everything together.
Sessions are warm, evidence based and delivered by secure telehealth across Australia for adults, subject to clinical suitability. Booking is simple. Choose a time online, complete your forms securely, and your private video link arrives automatically.
How I Can Help
I work with adults across Australia by secure telehealth. Many of the people I see are healthcare workers, teachers, psychologists, leaders, carers and other helping professionals. Many are women, parents, neurodivergent adults and high achievers who look capable on the outside while privately feeling anxious, exhausted or worn thin from carrying too much for too long.
Therapy with me is warm, honest and practical. I look beyond symptoms to understand the whole person, including your nervous system, relationships, workplace, identity and life story. I do not assume you are the problem when distress has grown inside an unhealthy workplace, relationship or wider system.
Burnout and workplace psychological health
Recovery after bullying, conflict, occupational violence, moral distress and psychologically unsafe workplaces. Support for compassion fatigue, long shifts, on call pressure and the weight of leading others.
Women's health, perinatal and parenthood
Reproductive and women's health concerns, perinatal and postnatal anxiety and depression, adjustment to parenthood and the emotional experience of parenting.
Anxiety, depression, trauma and grief
Evidence based therapy for generalised anxiety, OCD, phobias, health anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, and the adjustment that difficult life transitions demand.
Neurodivergent adults, disability and rehabilitation
Therapy for autistic and ADHD adults, gifted and twice exceptional adults, and adults adjusting to acquired brain injury, cognitive change or disability. Therapeutic support, not formal assessment.
Perfectionism and chronic over responsibility
For high achievers and helpers who find it hard to rest, say no, or receive care when they are usually the one providing it.
Relationships, couples and parenting programs
Couples therapy where clinically appropriate, and the Circle of Security and Triple P programs delivered to adult parents, caregivers and educators.
Adults 18 years and over. Telehealth Australia wide. Let It Go Psychology is not a crisis service.
Wellbeing is a skill, not a fixed trait
My primary approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a third wave cognitive behavioural therapy, integrated with neuroscience informed principles of wellbeing. Wellbeing is not something some people have and others do not. It is a set of skills that can be learned, practised and strengthened throughout life.
Therapy builds four connected capacities: awareness, connection, insight and purpose. Depending on what you need, I also draw on Compassion Focused Therapy, attachment theory, Family Systems, Narrative, Psychodynamic, Object Relations and Solution Focused approaches.
My work is trauma informed, neuroaffirming, attachment informed, strengths based and biopsychosocial. Complex psychological and neuroscientific ideas are translated into clear, practical strategies you can use in everyday life.
