Alisha Polsen - Psychologist

BA Psych, GradDip Psych, MAPS

I am a registered psychologist located in the ACT, providing Telehealth psychology consultations globally for individuals and couples with a focus on 

health and fertility.  My practice offers an inclusive, safe and confidential therapeutic environment. 

Evidence-based therapies, including Neuropsychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Hakomi, inform my practice. I emphasize tangible and manageable steps to build resilience and regulate the body to adapt effectively to experiences of anxiety, grief and stress. 

I provide psychology consultations for clients experiencing fertility challenges throughout all stages of their fertility journey, including establishment of optimum health and wellbeing prior to conception, IVF, PGD/PGS, gamete donation, post treatment adjustment and pre/postnatal stages. I am ANZICA registered and provide donation implications counselling and specialist reporting as required. 

Providing psychology consultations  for clients undergoing assisted conception, and having done so for fifteen  years, I am well informed on the latest practices in fertility treatment.

I work with clients to achieve their health, fitness and lifestyle goals, establishing how to make this a reality and pleasurable in each different circumstance and how to

build resilience for optimum ongoing health. I work with clients 

experiencing chronic pain,  pre/post cosmetic procedure adjustment, and anxiety and stress.  I address the fundamentals- optimal sleep, nutrition, movement and interpersonal relationships.
