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, tell me a little about what you are navigating, and learn more about how I work.
My practice is IFS-led and trauma-informed, with nervous system, embodiment, and emotional work woven throughout. Depending on the person and what is needed, our work may also draw from Focusing, Polyvagal-informed approaches, and other practical tools from my training.
If we decide to continue, we can talk about what ongoing work might look like from there.
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
-
IFS and nervous system work are central to my practice, but they do not define the limits of what we can explore together.
My work is trauma-informed, integrative, and highly individualized. I draw from Internal Family Systems, nervous system work, Focusing, emotional and embodied approaches, and a broader body of professional training and experience.
You do not need to fit yourself or what you are experiencing into a particular modality. You can bring your life. The work is shaped around you and what is most useful at that particular point in time.
-
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.
-
here 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.
I have some flexibility and, although an alternative is not always possible, I will do my best to accommodate where I can.
-
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.
This is a great FAQ because it is unusual and human. Definitely keep it.
-
Yes.
I work with clients internationally, predominantly across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. All sessions take place online.
Appointment times are displayed in your local time when booking.
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.
