More about Alison

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

Hello and welcome to my profile.

I am an integrative counsellor based in the UK and have experience working as a counsellor and a hypnotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, weight loss, smoking cessation, confidence issues, overwhelm and stress. I am also trained to support people who are transitioning through the menopause.

My therapy style is calming and caring. I believe in client led counselling so that no two sessions are the same and treatment plans will be tailored towards your unique and specific needs. I provide confidential and understanding counselling where I treat anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, person centred and motivational interviewing. I am also a qualified hypnotherapist and have a wide range of experience in this field.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working 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.
