"I am deeply committed to the principles of equity, inclusion, and human dignity. Every day, I advocate on behalf of individuals living with mental health challenges and disabilities to ensure they are not only seen and heard, but fully supported and included—both in their workplaces and across all areas of community life. I believe in a world free from discrimination, where everyone can thrive and participate with respect and equality."

— Dr Alyse Price-Tobler, Clinical level PACFA registered doctor, counsellor and psychotherapist in the Southern Highlands of NSW.

What is Counselling and Psychotherapy?

Counselling and Psychotherapy is a supportive and respectful conversation between you and a trained professional. Its first goal is to help ease emotional pain and ensure you feel safe, understood, and heard.

Before any treatment begins, we focus on building trust. This happens through open, caring conversations where you are met with kindness and without judgment. Feeling safe and supported helps you share what’s happening, allowing your therapist to understand your world better.

You can talk about anything troubling you, such as anxiety, sadness, stress, trauma, habits you want to change, or painful thoughts and feelings like guilt, shame, or anger. You’re also welcome to talk about your hopes, goals, and dreams for the future.

Psychotherapy is a space for healing, growth, and finding new ways forward—at your pace, and in your own words.

General Practice Areas

Clinical Psychotherapists are advanced mental health professionals whose practice is informed by rigorous academic training, supervised clinical experience, and a strong foundation in psychological theory and therapeutic process. In Australia, these practitioners typically hold qualifications in psychology, social work, counselling, mental health nursing, or general medicine. They are credentialed through professional bodies such as PACFA, ACA, or equivalent regulatory organisations.

Her generalist practice remains grounded in evidence-based, integrative frameworks that honour the uniqueness of each individual’s story while drawing on depth-oriented insight and practical strategies for change. Evidence-based, integrative frameworks that honour the uniqueness of each individual’s story while drawing on depth-oriented insight and practical strategies for change are also drawn upon.

Specialist Expertise in High-Conflict and Complex Family Dynamics

The clinical level psychotherapist occupies a specialised role within the mental health field, focusing on the deep structure of psychological experience, unconscious process, and relational dynamics. Particularly in the context of pathogenic parenting and attachment-based parental alienation, this work necessitates an expert understanding of complex trauma, personality pathology (including narcissistic and borderline features), disrupted attachment systems, and induced delusional processes in children and families.

​

Clinical psychotherapists facilitate conditions for reflective insight and emotional integration. Through the therapeutic alliance, they create a secure and attuned relational space in which clients can explore internalised meaning systems, process trauma, and reorganise fragmented aspects of self. This is especially crucial when working with clients impacted by psychological abuse, loyalty conflicts, and identity diffusion arising from prolonged exposure to coercive family dynamics.

​

Dr Alyse Price-Tobler is a doctoral-level integrative clinical psychotherapist with advanced expertise in the treatment of adult survivors of severe parental alienation, children impacted by high-conflict separations, and those subjected to chronic psychological abuse. Her work is grounded in attachment theory, trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy, developmental neurobiology, and forensic systems analysis. She draws from a range of integrated clinical models, including:

Attachment-Based Parental Alienation (AB-PA)

Complex trauma frameworks and dissociation theory

Psychoanalytic and intersubjective models of development

Forensic and systems-informed reunification approaches

​

Her clinical work is anchored in psychological precision, ethical integrity, and trauma-responsive care, with a specific focus on dismantling delusional belief systems, restoring neurobiological attachment mechanisms, and facilitating reunification where clinically indicated.

Mindfulness Garden Counselling Space

Clients also have full access to the property's gardens, both front and back, and are more than welcome to come in before their counselling session times, grab a cuppa and enjoy the flora and fauna that reside around the many water features throughout the garden. Counselling sessions can also be conducted outdoors in four private garden spaces. We even have double hammocks to relax in under the 50-year-old oak tree.
