Award-winning couples therapist, coach, and workplace facilitator
Hello! I’m Alison Curtis. I help people rethink how they communicate, connect, and manage conflict, whether that’s in their personal life or at work.
People describe me as having an unstoppable drive, warm yet infectious energy, and a deep passion for helping others. I have dedicated my life to sparking meaningful connections and helping people to rethink how they communicate, connect, and handle conflict, at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
Over the past two decades, I’ve worked with hundreds of couples, leaders and coaches, supporting them through the often messy but always meaningful process of improving relationships. Whether dealing with emotional distance in a marriage or cultural disconnect in a team, my job is to help you get clearer, calmer and more connected.
Direct, honest, and results-focused
Relationships are wonderful when they’re going well… and incredibly stressful when they’re not. My work is rooted in the belief that even if two people don’t know how things can change, if they want to work things through and are willing to invest in the process, there’s every chance for positive change. The ‘how’ is where I come in.
People come to me because they want practical support with emotional depth. They stay because they feel seen, supported and challenged in all the right ways. I bring a combination of warmth, humour and directness to every session. It’s this balance, gentle but honest, human but structured, that helps people stop circling the same patterns and start creating real change.
From boardroom to living room
I’ve worked as a therapist since 2001, a coach since 2004, and a business relationship specialist since 2002. Most of my early work was with senior leaders and corporate teams, helping them build cultures that connect rather than clash. But during the pandemic, I finally gave time to a lifelong passion: working with couples.
It turns out the two worlds are more connected than people think.
Whether it's a partner struggling to express what they need or a CEO managing unresolved team tension, it always comes back to the same thing: relationships. Understanding them. Improving them. And making sure they support the lives we actually want.
A note from me
I’m results-focused, no matter who I’m working with. But results don’t always mean perfect harmony or agreement. They mean clarity, honesty and knowing what’s really going on underneath the surface.
I love this work because it’s real. You get to help people shift something that’s been stuck for a long time. And that shift? It changes lives at home, at work, everywhere.
