Alison is amazing. She's an incredible therapist and really listens to me, makes me feel supported and I feel like I've grown so much through therapy with her, I think it's been life changing. And I always feel like she's there for me to listen to me and guide me through challenges with wise advice.
More about Alison
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an integrative therapist specialising in Trauma and Abuse with experience of a wide range of issues, including addictions, relationship difficulties, panic attacks, dissociation, flashbacks, anxiety and depression. I use various models and theories to support my work including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural, Humanistic and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with both long term and short term issues and modify each therapy based on the needs of each individual client.
Many clients who come to me report feeling stuck and unable to move on, have difficulty in facing day to day situations and suffer high levels of stress in their lives. I help clients break down their own personal barriers, unlock their potential and live a more self confident and fulfilling life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Alison is a really caring and supportive therapist and a great listener, she's always there for me and I'm glad to have met her
Alison is both empathetic and practical, a great listener who is able to quickly connect the dots and offer alternative perspectives I haven't yet considered (and from an overthinker that is a great compliment!). I would highly recommend working with her.
She listens, which is the main thing.
When I was considering joining BetterHelp, I was skeptical because I didn’t know how effective it would be to have therapy over text/call/video. But right from the start, Alison completely set me at ease. She is so friendly and made me feel completely relaxed. She is very understanding and has made me feel heard and validated. I honestly, couldn’t say enough good things about Alison.
5*s every time! Alison holds a very safe space to allow much needed tears, healing and awareness to flow. I put the work in to be vulnerable and Alison meets me there every time with so much compassion. Her insights and experience have given me “gems” and “ah-has” every week. Self- belief and esteem is growing and I can feel myself starting to find/reveal my shine and sparkle. I can and I will achieve my goals - finally! I always leave feeling “I have got this”. Alison is very special and anyone would be lucky to have found her.
Alison has been brilliant at listening and understanding my situation. I’m feel very safe talking to her.
Alison is very friendly and warm, she has helped me realise a lot of things I had suppressed and manage my anxiety in a much healthier and effective way
Alison is a great therapist, I’d definitely recommend her to others.
