Alicia Finigan is a licensed clinical Australian counsellor with more than seven years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She uses an integrative psychotherapy approach, drawing from multiple evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person's needs, personality, and goals.

Her practice supports clients navigating divorce and separation, managing anger, and rebuilding emotional resilience.

In sessions Alicia emphasises a compassionate, collaborative stance that recognises each person as the expert in their own story while identifying and building on existing strengths. She encourages practical coping skills, clearer communication, and reflection on personal values to help clients build a life that feels more balanced and aligned. Alicia is registered with PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in Australia.

Integrative Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Alicia draws on a blend of evidence-based techniques to meet the diverse needs of her clients. She uses cognitive and skills-based strategies to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping tools for stress, anxiety, and everyday challenges. Trauma-informed methods offer careful support for people recovering from abuse or painful life events, focusing on emotion regulation and gradual processing in a paced, respectful way. Attachment-focused work helps clients understand relational patterns, heal abandonment or commitment issues, and build healthier connections with others.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alicia works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Alicia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or wherever a client is located in Australia, while maintaining continuity across sessions and formats.
