Inner Gold
Integrative psychotherapy and wellness coaching
One-to-one support for emotional and physical wellbeing.
Hello, I’m Alison
Some practitioners work mainly with emotional and psychological patterns, others focus on physical health and behaviour change. I’m a psychotherapist and a Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), and my work integrates both emotional and physical well-being.
At Inner Gold, I offer one-to-one support for people who are dealing with ongoing health issues, stress, or life changes and are tired of trying to push themselves through it alone.
This work is for people who sense that real change doesn’t come from forcing themselves to do better, but from feeling supported enough to slow down, listen, and make changes that actually fit their life.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet worn down by years of managing symptoms, stress, or patterns that keep repeating despite their best efforts. Some live with chronic illness or autoimmune conditions. Others are navigating burnout, long-term emotional strain, recovery from addiction, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from always having to hold things together.
A central part of this work is recognising how closely physical health and emotional well-being are linked. When the body is under strain from inflammation, food sensitivities, poor sleep, or ongoing stress, mood and resilience are affected. At the same time, long-held emotional patterns and stress responses place real pressure on the body. Many people feel stuck because only one side of this picture has been addressed.
My approach brings these pieces together. Alongside emotional and nervous system support, I also offer practical health coaching. For some people, this includes guidance with approaches such as the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). Changes to food and lifestyle often bring up strong feelings, especially when habits have been a source of comfort or control. Part of the work is making space for that experience, rather than pushing through it or treating it as a problem.
A bit about me
I do this work because I’ve needed it. I’ve lived with chronic illness, faced significant health and emotional challenges, and committed to my own inner work over many years. This has taught me to stay humble, be realistic, and respect the body’s timing.
Alongside lived experience, I’ve been supported by skilled therapists, coaches, and teachers, and I’ve also trained extensively to support others. You can read more about my qualifications on the Qualifications page.
