About Alison

Alison "Ali" Pember offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where individuals can talk about what is worrying them and work out steps to feel more in control.

Ali brings 13 years of experience and is registered with the BACP, which she notes as part of her professional background. Ali combines counselling and coaching to help people understand why they feel a certain way and to find concrete ways to change it.

Background and approach

Sessions can include simple mindfulness practices and body-based techniques to help calm strong emotions. She also uses solution-focused work to set short-term goals and track progress. People often come to Ali for support with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress and life transitions.

She also offers help for trauma and abuse, grief, workplace challenges and issues around self-esteem and identity. Additional focus areas include attachment and communication problems, fertility and pregnancy concerns, and caregiver stress. Her approach is practical and collaborative.

She listens first, then helps clients choose tools that suit their situation and daily life. Sessions aim to build confidence, reduce overwhelm and create small, manageable changes. Ali works with clients in English and practices from the United Kingdom.

She offers several online formats so people can pick the way that best fits their routine and needs.

How Ali uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the conversation. The counsellor listens with empathy and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for building confidence and self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift patterns in their relationships and strong emotions, often by naming feelings and exploring how they affect behaviour. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and manage anxiety, offering tools people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on the client's goals, how they respond in sessions and practical needs. This means tests of different tools and regular check-ins to adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, childcare and other commitments.
