About Alison

Alison Dace is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, depression or past trauma. She keeps sessions simple and direct so clients can talk about what matters to them. Alison writes in a down-to-earth way and encourages small, practical steps between meetings.

Alison builds an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. She values straight talk and gentle curiosity during sessions.

Background and approach

Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and support with immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Her work includes supporting people dealing with relationship strain, problems linked to substance use, and the effects of abuse or early abandonment. She also helps with issues such as body image, family of origin struggles, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

Alison pays attention to how attachment and control patterns affect daily life. Alison has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions around each person’s needs.

Sessions may involve talking through recent events, noticing behavioural patterns and agreeing practical tasks to try between meetings. Alison aims to make therapy felt as a collaborative process where clients set the pace and focus.

How Alison uses evidence-based approaches online

Alison draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress and change unhelpful patterns. One common focus is practical problem-solving work that helps clients break down overwhelming worries into steps they can try. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety and everyday coping difficulties. Another strand concentrates on understanding attachment and relational patterns. In sessions clients look at how early relationships shape current reactions and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Alison treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and life circumstances. She adapts techniques as progress is made and checks in regularly to make sure sessions match what the client needs.

Online formats give flexibility for people juggling work, childcare or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies or quieter ways to start talking. These options make it easier to keep continuity and shape therapy around a busy life.
