Alpha - Queensland

My name is Alpha Ponce, I was born in Mexico, I have been in Australia for 14 years. and I am an Australian Citizen holding a Diploma of Counselling, an Emotionally Focused Therapy Certificate and a Master in Gestalt Psychotherapy in Australia.

In 2002, I completed a Bachelor Degree in Psychology at the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosi, Mexico, where I specialised in clinical and organisational psychology.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals who have experienced a range of traumatic events, such as child abuse, narcissistic abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, natural disasters amongst others. My training in trauma-focused therapy has equipped me with the tools to support individuals as they navigate the healing process.

I am particularly drawn to provide trauma-informed care to underserved populations. As a clinician, I believe it is essential to recognize and address the unique needs of individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly those who may be experiencing barriers to care. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where clients can feel heard, validated, and empowered to work towards their goals.

In addition to my clinical experience, I am currently licensed as Membership of PACFA, ACA, Australian Centre for Emotionally Focused therapy. I regularly participate in continuing education to stay up to date on the latest research and best practices in trauma-focused care.
