More about Alison
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- NCPS
I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience as a counsellor. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage and support to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I am a qualified person centred counsellor and specialise in CBT and psychodynamic work. I am also a qualified Hypnotherapist. I hope we can meet one another soon and I can start supporting you soon so that you can gently move towards you reaching your goals. Thank you for reading.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
