About Alison
She offers both longer-term therapy and shorter courses of counselling. Sessions focus on understanding how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current behaviour. Conversations are practical and grounded, with space to talk about feelings, thoughts and small steps forward.
Alison draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioural ways of looking at thoughts and actions, and client-centred listening that keeps the person’s experience central. These tools are used together rather than as rigid rules.
Her practice also addresses issues such as family strain, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, anger and coping with separation. She works with people affected by trauma, abuse, addiction and compulsive behaviours, and helps those facing career or parenting stress.
Alison is registered with NCPS, which appears after her name as NCPS. She has four years of experience and sees people from across the United Kingdom, including international clients. To start, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange their first appointment.

How Alison's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and practise new ways of relating to others in everyday life.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. In remote sessions this means time to speak at one’s own pace while the counsellor reflects and supports personal insight.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Over online sessions people can learn specific techniques, try behavioural experiments and review progress between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adjust methods as therapy progresses so it better fits the person’s needs.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video; others find it easier to attend from different time zones. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available session types before booking to ensure they suit your routine.
