Allison Macrae

Hi, I’m Allison (she/her)

** As a counselling intern completing my practicum with Our Landing Place, I am restricted in the types of counselling I can offer. Please fill out this form to help me and my supervising team determine if I can support you. **

I am a queer, neurodivergent, polyamorous, kink-positive woman living on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən territory, also known as Victoria. I grew up in my native home of Scotland before coming to Turtle Island as a teen, where I have worked in consent education and violence prevention. I am currently finishing my Masters in Counselling Psychology, hold a student membership with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and have six years experience as a volunteer trained community counsellor.

I practice a collaborative and anti-oppressive approach, focused on creating a safe space together to celebrate your strength and explore change, including supporting you in developing new skills and practicing resilience against systems of power. I am always learning how to better incorporate intersectional beliefs and practices into my work, and am committed to continually deepening my understanding of trauma-informed, culturally-responsive harm reduction.

My areas of focus include:

Exploring and celebrating identity (gender identity, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, to name a few)

Kink and ethical non-monogamy

Major life transitions and relationship changes

Navigating challenges owing to systemic oppression (gender, sexuality, culture, disability)

If you would like to see if we would be a good fit to work together, please complete this form. Our team will be in touch to schedule a free 15-minute consultation if I am able to offer you support, or a referral to a counsellor who can support you should your current needs be outside of my scope.

Session Fee: $40 per 50-minute session (plus applicable tax).
