Hello my name is Phoebe, I am a Counselling Psychologist and also a qualified Coach. I have many years experience working with a wide range of psychological and life problems, in a variety of different services. These include adult mental health and health psychology, learning disabilities and staff counselling. I am also a qualified teacher and originally worked with children and adult students.
I can use a range of different therapeutic approaches, depending upon the particular issues the client brings to therapy. I prefer person-centred approaches which place the person at the centre of the therapy and seek to find solutions to the problems presented. I have a sensitive, thoughtful approach which values really listening to the client and helping them find answers to whatever problem they are experiencing. I find my years of life experience, as well as many years clinical training are helpful with this.
Thank you for your interest, 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.

Very kind and helpful, always available to give suggestions and understand how I feel.
Phoebe is a great therapist with strong interpersonal skills and a lot of empathy. She really is one of a kind and supports you in a way that is centred to your needs. Thanks so much Phoebe!
My sessions with Dr Alonso have been of great benefit. This was my third attempt at some sort of therapy and has been the most useful one so far. Excellent listening skills and thus great at suggesting relevant solutions. Highly recommended
I joined betterhelp for a couple of months during a relatively minor but difficult and confusing period I was going through. I feel very fortunate to have been assigned Dr.Phoebe Alonso who was an insightful listener as well as really being a good friend. It was a good experience and I’m happy to recommend Dr.Alonso to others like me seeking help.
A wonderful person to talk to. Dr Alonso is easy to open up to, and an all round great human being before a being the consummate professional. Highly recommended.
