A CONVERSATION IS A GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN.
Finding the right person
to work with matters.
The work I do is personal, relational, and often nuanced. You may already have a clear sense of what you want support with, or you may simply know that something in your life no longer feels sustainable, familiar, or quite like you.
An introductory call gives us a chance to meet, talk about what is bringing you here, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
YOU CAN BEGIN EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE.
You can come with the complicated version.
INTRODUCTORY CALLS
Introductory calls are a brief opportunity to ask questions, share a little about what you're navigating, and get a sense of how I work.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, bringing together Internal Family Systems (IFS), emotional processing, Focusing, embodiment, coaching, and nervous-system-informed practices. How we work together is shaped by your individual needs, experiences, and what feels appropriate for you.
If we decide to continue, we can explore what ongoing sessions might look like and whether my approach is a good fit for you.
If none of the available times work for your time zone or circumstances, you are welcome to get in touch. I work internationally and may occasionally be able to offer an alternative.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
An Integrative Emotional & Somatic Practitioner works with both the emotional and embodied aspects of human experience, recognising that understanding something intellectually doesn't always mean it feels resolved.
My approach brings together Internal Family Systems (IFS), Focusing, emotional processing, nervous-system-informed practices, and empowerment coaching. Rather than relying on one method, I draw on different approaches to help you explore patterns, protective responses, emotions, and how your experiences may show up in your body.
The work is collaborative and individualised, with an emphasis on developing self-understanding, strengthening self-trust, and creating greater choice in how you relate to yourself and navigate your life.
-
Not at all.
Some people come to me after years of personal work, while for others this is their first experience of working with someone in this way.
You do not need previous knowledge of IFS, parts work, nervous system concepts, embodied work, or Focusing. I introduce ideas naturally as they become relevant and explain what we are doing along the way.
-
There does not need to be one particular issue.
People come to me with relationships and family concerns, grief and loss, confidence and self-worth, work and career challenges, boundaries, burnout, identity, life transitions, emotional patterns, difficult decisions, and experiences from the past that continue to affect the present.
You can also arrive not quite knowing what you need.
Sometimes finding the thread is part of the work.

If none of the available times suit your schedule, please email me at allison@allisonlund.com.

Sessions take place online using Zoom.
You will receive everything you need to join before we meet. A reliable internet connection and a private space where you feel comfortable talking are all that is required.
-
No.
Some people prefer the visual connection of having their camera on, while others find it easier to concentrate, notice what is happening internally, or speak more freely without it.
You are welcome to choose whichever feels most comfortable and supportive for you.
-
Yes.
I work with clients internationally, predominantly across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. All sessions take place online.

IF SOMETHING HERE FEELS FAMILIAR
Let’s begin with a conversation.
You do not need to arrive with the perfect explanation. An introductory call gives us a chance to talk and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
