More about Alison
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can feel difficult and takes courage; I understand the value of being able to talk without fear of judgement to someone who is outside of your situation and is interested how you see , feel and experience things.
Therapy is a journey of change, recognising how you really feel whilst being "held" within a supportive, non judgemental environment.
I look forward to meeting with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
