Meet Alicia - from Powerfully Human

I’m Alicia the founder of Powerfully Human. I’m a Psychotherapist dedicated to supporting you in exploring the darker, more painful sides of yourself.

I don’t believe you are broken & you don’t need to be fixed. You are human & as humans we need support navigating the painful parts of life. When we hold space for this pain, we learn it comes with a purpose. We learn it’s here to be Harnessed.

Together we will strengthen your awareness of your behaviours, thoughts & emotions, how they effect your life and your connections. It is my role to witness your strength whilst teaching you how to hold space for the more uncomfortable experiences. Over time, you will slowly learn to harness the power in your pain.

I am informed by all parts of my knowledge & self in the therapy room, as a facilitator, space creator & as a creative. Currently I am studying a range of different somatic based therapy & support practices whilst engaging with Dr Jenn's services to expand and strengthen my knowledge and practice of de-colonising therapy. When I show up with you I show up authentically informed by all parts of myself & I invite you to do the same. With honesty & compassion we create a space for you to truly connect with yourself & thrive.

About Powerfully Human

Powerfully Human is a psychotherapy practice, & an opportunity to gain support exploring the more painful parts within yourself. Powerfully Human is where you pause, reflect, and be honest about the pain you feel. This is an opportunity to connect to yourself, process what you need to process and release what is no longer serving you. In doing so you learn to Harness the power in your pain, the power within yourself that exists exactly as you are.

Through Powerfully Human I offer one on one therapy, a workshop to Harness your Emotions & another to Harness your Body.

What is Psychotherapy?

The therapy space is yours. A safe space where we sit one-on-one and chat about the parts of you that are bit scary to face alone. Bring your values, your needs & your challenges to the session & know you won’t be faced with judgement. It is not my role to tell you what’s wrong with you. It’s my role to to walk with you on your journey, sharing helpful tools, offering guidance, support and helping you strengthen your understanding of yourself. In the room I will support you in holding space for you emotions, so we can better understand them and how they effect your choices, & how your choices effect your life. Take control of your experiences, know your power & step into your own light. Not more self sabotage. It’s time to face yourself with compassion, and grow into the person you want to be.
