Keira-Marie Allen

Pronouns: she/her

Psychologist and Director

Available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays

Keira enjoys working with adult clients, both individually and in couples. She started her professional life as a Paramedic, but found herself drawn strongly to the mental health presentations and therefore, decided to continue studying to become a Psychologist.

Keira has a particular interest in working with diverse people – those who are neurodivergent (including Autistic clients, AuDHDers, and ADHDers), those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, are gifted, and/or those who are in/interested in alternate relationship structures. She also has experience, interest, and training in working with people who have experienced trauma.

In her clinical work, Keira is passionate about guiding and supporting clients to uncover what may be driving unhelpful behaviours, learn strategies to approach situations differently and facilitate personal growth through treatment. In her work, she develops and implements tailored treatment plans to assist individuals who are experiencing a range of mental health issues. She strongly believes that clients should be encouraged to take an active role in their treatment, recovery, and ongoing management of their health.

Keira’s approach to working with clients has been described as collaborative, flexible, warm and genuine.

When Keira is not working, she is spending time with her family (including her husband, two daughters, 2 rescue cats and 2 mini lop rabbits), cooking or getting outside in her vege garden. Keira likes discovering new hobbies to dive into deeply (or rediscovering old ones) – and is currently learning how to play the keyboard piano and playing Stardew Valley.
