Counselling for people who want focus over endless analysis
You've always found a way through... until now
Hello and welcome to my website. I’m glad you’re here,
People I work with are thoughtful and capable.
They’ve managed on their own for a long time, often years, before deciding that this time, the ways they’ve been coping don’t work any more.
If that sounds familiar, counselling with me offers something different. A calm, focused space to make sense of what’s happening and decide what comes next.
This might sound familiar
- You’ve thought about this from every angle. You’ve read the books, talked it through in your own head, made lists… and you’re no closer to an answer
- You’ve always been the one who copes, but lately things feel harder
- The same problems keep circling in your mind without resolution, especially at 2:00am
- You keep saying “I’m fine”, while carrying worries you rarely share
- Something feels off, but you can’t name what
- You’re functioning on the outside while everything inside feels uncertain
You don’t need to have the words yet — finding them, together, is exactly what I’m good at.
You don't have to reach breaking point to benefit from counselling.
Sometimes the problem isn’t that life is too much. It’s that none of the options feel right. You might be facing a difficult decision, feeling overwhelmed by responsibility, navigating loss or change, struggling in a relationship, questioning your confidence, or finding anxiety is shaping your days.
Whatever brings you here, together we’ll make sense of what’s happening, notice what’s keeping you stuck, and work out what the right next step looks like.
Thoughtful conversations. Real change
Some people come for one session, some for several. Many return when life presents new challenges.
We’ll untangle what’s happening, notice patterns that keep you stuck, and find realistic ways forward that you can sustain.
Most people leave with a clearer understanding of what’s happening and a practical sense of where to begin.
Hello, I'm Alison
I’ve spent many years supporting people through challenging moments in their lives.
As an accredited psychotherapist and Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health, I’ve worked in private practice, the NHS, education and business.
Experience has taught me that people don’t need fixing. They need the right environment to make sense of what’s happening without judgement or pressure.
That’s the space I offer every person who contacts me.
Getting started is simple.
No complicated form. Just get in touch.
No guessing. No awkward conversations about fees.
A 50-minute counselling session is £65.
I include my fee because counselling works best when the practical details are clear. You can decide whether this feels like the right support for you before getting in touch.
Send me a brief email about what’s happening. I’ll reply personally, answer your questions, and we’ll decide if working together feels right.
If it does, we’ll arrange a time that suits us both for a free 15 minute initial consultation.
