About me and my therapy practice

Hello. I am Alison, an integrative person centred counsellor and registered member with the BACP.

I understand it can take a lot of courage to find a therapist and that there can be lots of different reasons to look for one. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, depression or feeling 'stuck' from past trauma or relationship. You may not be even sure what is wrong but that things just do not feel right.

I am person-centred and believe the relationship between client and counsellor is fundamental so that you feel heard and listened to. This is at the core of my work. My approach is to work with and alongside you, providing a confidential place where you can talk about what you choose.

As an integrative counsellor I may use different approaches depending on the individual person. This may include some CBT, creative and relaxation techniques. Working together with your goals towards a clearer understanding and awareness of yourself. Not feeling like you are 'stuck' in survival mode but living the life you want to live.

My practise is client-centred. I believe that you are the 'expert' in your life. It's about finding what works for you so that you have a greater understanding of yourself. Being able to share your experiences and work through these difficult times.

I can offer you a warm, calm, supportive non-judgemental space to talk through and face these challenges and feelings together.

I have specialised to become trauma informed and have worked with adults who were sexually abused as children. I have completed CHOICES training course supporting survivors of child hood sexual abuse.

I have worked with a charity supporting new parents experiencing perinatal and postnatal depression.

I also work with a local based charity at weekends.

Having trained as a therapist later in life I have lots of life experience too. Having gone through the therapy process and counselling training I became more self aware and developed a better understanding of myself.

I can offer you online and face to face therapy with availability on a Tuesday and Wednesday morning, afternoon or evening.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. If after reading you feel I might be the right therapist for you or you would like to know more then then please contact me and we can have an informal chat.

My first session

Please contact me if you would like an introductory phone call of up to 20 minutes, free of charge, to see if you would like to work together and a chance just to have a chat and ask any questions.

Otherwise we can have our first 50 minute session together. I will go through some background questions with you just so that you have the chance to let me know more about yourself. We can then see how we can work together and I can explain more about the counselling process. All our work together is confidential.

If you would like to go ahead after this then I can offer short or long term counselling. I am available Tuesday and Wednesday morning, afternoon and evening.

I offer online sessions with Zoom so that you have support that is convenient for you. I can explain the counselling process online and a safe way to work together.

I have completed the BACP online course.

I have regular supervision and comply with the BACP Ethical Framework and attend continued professional development training.
