More about Alison
- 3 years' experience

I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience as a counsellor. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage and support to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I am a qualified person centred counsellor and specialise in CBT and psychodynamic work. I am also a qualified Hypnotherapist. I hope we can meet one another soon and I can start supporting you soon so that you can gently move towards you reaching your goals. Thank you for reading.

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.
