Therapeutic approaches Alison uses for online support

Alison combines client-centered work with evidence-based techniques to support change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship in which the client’s perspective is held with respect; it helps people explore values, strengthen self-understanding, and gain confidence in making life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy offers practical attention-based skills to help people relate differently to difficult thoughts and sensations, supporting emotional regulation and coping during stressful times.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Alison works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt methods as progress unfolds, and Alison will discuss options and adjust plans in partnership with the client.

Online therapy with Alison is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to choose what feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow therapy to continue from different locations, improving access for clients both in the UK and internationally.
