Sessions last 50 minutes and can be held face-to-face or online, in English or French.

I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgmental space in which to talk over whatever's troubling you, either as an individual (£70) or as a couple (£85). I am also a clinical supervisor (£60). Sometimes, people think their problems aren't big enough to warrant counselling, or are too big for someone else to cope with, but if there’s something that’s getting in the way of you leading your life the way you want, we can look at that together. Or there may be one particular event in your life which is affecting you which we can explore so you get a good understanding of how it affects you, and the changes you might like to make.

My name is Alison (Ali). I specialise in providing support to those who are experiencing the pain of grief and loss. You may be feeling overwhelmed by the loss of somebody close to you, the loss of a relationship, way of life, your confidence, health or your direction in life. I am here to walk alongside you during this difficult time.

You may have been troubled by something for a while and have tried talking to friends or family, but how you feel hasn’t changed. You may be kept awake by anxiety or stress but you can’t put your finger on what it is that is keeping you awake. Or in fact you do know what is troubling you but have never been able to talk about it. Major changes in your life may have created a loss within the person you once were. Perhaps you feel that you lack purpose and that everything is hopeless. We as humans are very good at pushing things down inside, locking them in a box and marking them DO NOT OPEN, but eventually the box breaks open.

What brings you to counselling? This is what I need to know, to get an understanding of how I can help you. My Clients come with a sense of helplessness or hopelessness borne from Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Relationship difficulties, Overwhelm, Trauma or Guilt. These are only a few of the problems that I help through therapy. I’m an experienced qualified Counsellor who encourages my clients to be gently curious about the “hows and whys” of their suffering. Therapy is an opportunity for clients to explore themselves and their behaviours, in a safe space.

I provide focused therapy that will help you to see your patterns and emotions as well as moral and ethical challenges arising from interpersonal and social contexts better, to then allow you to change them. Obstacles to change are very subtle, often almost invisible. Self-awareness can redirect your energies to creating more positive states of mind. We will work on how ethical and moral dilemmas arise between people, how this interacts with different life experiences that impact your personality and how that then affects your psychological well being.

I am a UKCP registered Family and Systemic Psychotherapist, offering: Individual, Family and Couples therapy for people of all ages and psychological difficulties.
