Hi and welcome, 

My name is  Alison and I am a qualified, level 6 Pluralistic counsellor that has completed a three year BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and Therapeutic Studies.  I work within a school of therapy that is designed to have counsellors and clients  working collaboratively with each other to find the best way to address client's concerns, using ideas and techniques from different therapeutic theories, literature and the clients own life experiences. 

The different therapeutic modalities that I can offer are evidence-based such as: Humanistic, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamics, Creative Play,  Mindfulness, Systemic informed, Attachment informed, Trauma informed and motivational interviewing. 

I offer a safe, non-judgemental, empathic and confidential space for you to reflect and explore the reasons you have chosen to access therapy. I provide individual sessions for people aged 7+ and can provide both long term or short term therapy. I work collaboratively with you towards your goals and desires for the future. My integrative training enables me to adapt my approach to your individual and unique needs.

When you contact me we can discuss and assess your reasons for accessing therapy and identify if we are compatible to work together. Once you have decided if I am the right therapist for you, we will meet for our first session where you will complete an assessment/personal information form and agree/sign our working contract. I will then work with you to build a therapeutic plan based on the concerns you are bringing to therapy.

I will work collaboratively with you starting from the place that you currently find yourself in. We will work together with whatever you decide to bring, at a pace that suits you. We can work together for as long as you feel necessary to address and process whatever you chose to bring to our sessions.

I offer weekday appointments, including early and late appointments, so please do get in touch regarding availability.
