About

Alana Russell is a therapist who specialises in working with first responders, veterans, frontline professionals and their families. She draws on both professional and personal experience to understand the distinct challenges that come with these demanding careers.

Alana values the power of each person’s story and the strengths clients bring. She approaches therapy collaboratively, recognising that clients are the experts in their own lives and partnering with them to address concerns and find practical solutions.

Her practice emphasises trauma-informed care, a strengths-based and solution-focused approach, and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques - approaches supported by research. Her training spans general mental health, psychological injuries, motherhood, parenting, addiction and couples counselling.

Alana has worked with people of all ages, each bringing their own perspectives. She supports clients as they take the brave first step toward a more fulfilling life, working to enhance relationships and build a more joyful, balanced life.

She welcomes an initial conversation to begin the journey toward healing and growth, and provides ongoing support throughout that process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits their life, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if someone feels a different match would be better they can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns.
