About Alpha Ponce

The answers lie in your inner wisdom and the information inherited by your family

We often seek suggestions and answers from professionals, friends, and family about what to do. However, these answers often lie in the wisdom of your nervous system, personal experiences, family tree, and even sometimes in physical symptoms that may lack a medical explanation.

Emotions, whether they are pleasant or unpleasant, contain essential information about your doubts or desires to feel satisfied so that you can maintain or restore balance in your life.

My approach is to work with you to discover what your emotions or physical symptoms are trying to tell you, and how you can listen to them to get clarity on the answers that you need and the direction you wish to take, for a new, brighter and wiser beginning.

Hi, I’m Alpha Ponce

Brisbane-based Psychotherapist and Counsellor, and founder of Wise Beginning

As an immigrant woman, I understand the many challenges that life presents as an immigrant. These challenges can present in experiences such as “othering”, exclusion and isolation – and these can have a direct impact on mental health (especially confidence and sense of self-worth).

My ability to empathise with these challenges gives me a unique cultural perspective to connect with clients to address their sense of belonging and deal with different challenges.

I am a very determined person and always apply myself 100% to achieve my goals. Despite the experiences of losing a sister, domestic violence, discrimination in a foreign country far from family support, I still found a way not to lose sight of what I wanted to achieve. As a result of my perseverance, I have grown stronger and more resilient from these challenges.

I use an Integrative model of interpersonal-relationship Neurobiology and Brain-mind contemporary neuroscience approach and techniques to assist people with ongoing problems with:

Anxiety
Depression
PTSD
Grief and loss
Domestic Violence
Relationship difficulties,
Homesickness, and
Addiction

I have also assisted migrants who are vulnerable as a result of migration.

I aim to build a genuine and collaborative relationship with clear boundaries, accompanying you in a process of awareness-raising.

I am open minded and feel comfortable with diversity. I will develop the best quality of connection with you, giving you authority in the therapeutic work as I believe and honour that you have wisdom and you are the expert in your life.

I offer Counselling and Psychotherapy in English and Spanish.
