About me and my therapy practice

I'm a trauma informed Psychotherapist specialising in attachment trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem. I work online with people all over the UK.


Do you recognise any of the following?

  • Do you often put yourself down and find it hard to show yourself compassion?
  • Do you often not feel good enough?
  • Do you experience anxious and overwhelming feelings, or think the worst is going to happen?
  • Have you experienced a significant loss, difficulty, or trauma and you are finding it hard to move on from this
  • Do you feel unheard, unloved, guilty, or ashamed?
  • Was your upbringing or childhood difficult or traumatic.
  • Were your feelings and emotions ignored or dismissed as a child, whilst other aspects seemed to be positive? 
  • Have you experienced abuse or trauma - you want to move forward and live a fulfilling life without feelings of shame, depression and/or anxiety? 

"Alison is a warm and empathetic individual, which are the most important qualities I looked for in a counsellor. I never felt the need to mince my words, or be afraid to be vulnerable with Alison, as she approaches counselling from a non-judgemental, proactive perspective. Anybody who needs someone to talk to, and to help them better understand themselves, would benefit massively from Alison’s support."

How I can help you:

I can help you develop a better understanding of yourself and your experiences, so you can feel more connected, comfortable, and confident within yourself, move on from difficult experiences or trauma, so you can live a more fulfilling life.

Who I work with:

I work with adults providing a blend of counselling and psychotherapy depending on your aims and goals.  I have a special interest in working with relational difficulties and anxious attachments.

What I offer:

Short or long term Psychotherapy

One-off single session counselling/coaching sessions - if you would like some focused time (80 mins) to explore or process something specific.

Practice description

"I have seen my progress with regards to anxiety over the time I have worked with Alison. I no longer feel crippled or held back by my mental health. I feel more confident in myself, and more able to give myself support and compassion. There is still work to do, but Alison provided a much needed outlet to make sense of everything that was going on internally."

How I work:

I provide attachment and trauma informed Psychotherapy. I'm curious, compassionate and relational in my approach. Together we can explore your experiences which can provide insight and understanding,  alongside offering tools which help with resilience and reducing distressing symptoms.

If you suffer with PTSD and/flashbacks connected to traumatic events, I offer something called REWIND technique, and guided imagery which can significantly reduce intrusive thoughts/images/memories.

It takes courage to ask for support and I will do all I can to make your experience comfortable and beneficial.

You are in the right place if you would like to:

  • have a safe and accepting place to share your story and experience 
  • have more clarity
  • feel more confident
  • be more comfortable in your relationships
  • achieve your personal goals
  • move on from difficult experiences or trauma

My promise to you:-

  • I will accept you and your experiences unconditionally and without judgement.
  • I will be genuine, honest and transparent in the hope that you feel comfortable sharing your experience.
  • I will listen deeply to you, so you know that I hear your experience.

Most of us experience psychological distress as some point in our lives, and I would like to help alleviate this.

With the nurturing and therapeutic space that I provide, we can work together through any issues to reach a more manageable place for you.

About me and my therapy practice

Hello! If you are looking for a warm, experienced, and empowering supervisor please book a free consultation to see if we feel comfortable working together

https://selfbeliefproject.co.uk/feel-more-confident/

I work intuitively, relationally and compassionately, with a real passion for working with attachment trauma.

I believe in working collaboratively with supervisees, using open and honest dialogue. I provide a safe, nurturing and supportive environment for you to explore your client work and grow as a therapist.

I have experience working with children, young people and adults. I have completed relevant qualifications and training in each of these areas and been qualified since 2013

I work with people in nature, and online and have completed the relevant ACTO approved training for online work. I can support therapists working in any of these environments. 


Practice description

I offer supervision to anyone working in a therapeutic role requiring time for reflection in order to be an ethical and effective practitioner. The elements I support supervisees with are safeguarding, ethical practice, and exploration of all aspects of the therapeutic process. 


If you would like to meet for a free initial consultation to see if you would feel comfortable working with me or to discuss your needs then please contact me to arrange.

Fees £60 per hour (£85 for 1.5hrs)

I am trained in using the Hawkins Seven Eyed Model of Supervision. 

Private Practice Business Mentoring:

If you are looking for support to set up or grow your private practice I offer focus sessions to help you and your private practice flourish.  Anything from admin to marketing, mindset to setting up groups and courses. I provide this to all my supervisees upon request but can also provide one off/block sessions for non supervisees.
