More about Alison
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I have trained and practice as a person-centred counsellor, and I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. My paramount endeavour is to provide a non-judgemental space and a compassionate presence for you to talk about your concerns and navigate how to move through them.
I am committed to the healing of the whole person. From this perspective I work holistically, and am able to incorporate breath work and Focusing-Orientated Therapy. Developing a more practical understanding of our breathing gives us access to an ever available self-care resource and can strengthen our sense of wellbeing. Focusing is a mind ~ body awareness practice which can help us make contact with aspects of self that feel stuck. Repetitive emotional and physical patterns can hinder us from feeling fully engaged with life, Focusing can help a person re-connect with self and gain new perspective.
At the heart of my person-centred practice is the client and their unique experiences. I seek to support the client in becoming more attuned to their own innate resources and chosen way of being.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
