Alison Rowe

Hello and welcome.

As a counsellor I offer individuals a confidential opportunity to explore personal and relational issues in a safe and comfortable environment.

Often our behaviours and ways of being, that have been useful in the past, no longer serve us well in our current lives. Counselling can be a space to gain an awareness into what is keeping us stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviour, exploration of which can give us a new perspective and understanding. Developing a greater understanding and awareness of ourselves can increase our sense of freedom, with new choices and possibilities arising, and a sense of clarity in how to move forward and live a more fulfilling life.

I provide a space in which you can truly be yourself, without a fear of judgement or expectations and demands being put upon you. I believe counselling will take as long as it needs and for this reason I offer short and long-term counselling within my practice. My theoretical approach is Humanistic and Integrative, which means I use several distinct models of counselling, all of which are client-centred and non-directive.

I have a number of years' experience working with individuals, from different age groups, cultures and backgrounds.

Please feel free to contact me should you want to discuss further and arrange an initial meeting.

I am currently offering counselling via Zoom and telephone sessions.  To support me in working  remotely, I have completed training with The Academy For Online Counselling & Psychotherapy and registered as a Professional Member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO).
