Allyson Iriarte , PACFA

Allyson Iriarte is a PACFA-credentialed therapist practicing in Australia with five years of professional experience. She works with individuals and families on a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting struggles, attention and focus difficulties related to ADHD, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, and trauma. PACFA refers to the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, indicating recognized training and membership within the Australian counselling community.

Allyson approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match the specific needs of every client. Her work often addresses underlying patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns, communication breakdowns, and difficulties stemming from family of origin or caregiving roles. She also supports clients facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and life transitions that affect wellbeing.

Whether the focus is on building stronger relationships, improving concentration and coping strategies, or processing loss and trauma, Allyson aims to tailor interventions to practical goals and everyday challenges. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and centers a collaborative, client-focused process that supports meaningful change and increased resilience.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Allyson employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues clients bring to therapy. For relationship and intimacy concerns she focuses on understanding patterns of connection and communication, helping clients build clearer expression, repair ruptures, and strengthen emotional attunement in relationships.

For attention, focus, and ADHD-related difficulties she works with practical, skills-oriented strategies that support concentration, routine, and task management, alongside coping tools for stress and anxiety that interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Allyson collaborates with each person to identify goals, test different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works best for their needs and preferences, treating therapy as a shared exploration rather than a preset program.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent care from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
