Dr Alla Demutska
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Alla is a seasoned psychologist dedicated to bringing compassion and clarity into everyday life. With a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and over fifteen years of clinical experience across Australia and Singapore, she has guided individuals and groups through trauma-informed, attachment-aware, and evidence-based therapeutic practices.
She works at the intersection of nervous-system regulation, contemplative practice, and human connection — a terrain where grounded science meets lived experience. Her approach moves beyond symptoms to what she calls “relational presence”: a capacity to meet oneself with clarity, to listen to what the body knows, and to stay connected in relationships without losing one’s own inner ground.
In retreat settings, Alla offers compassionate guidance rooted in her wide training: psychological therapies such as CBT, ACT, DBT, schema therapy and mindfulness-based modalities, all applied through a gentle, practical lens attuned to the body.
She creates safe, welcoming container spaces where emotional honesty becomes possible, and where the messy, tender work of reconnection and repair can be done without pressure or hurry. Her work helps people reclaim their inner steadiness — so they may care for others from a place of wholeness, not depletion.
Whether in individual sessions or as part of group work at the retreat, Alla’s style is reliable, grounded and compassionate — putting nervous systems at ease, opening hearts, and helping inner wisdom and connection flourish.
