About Alison

Alison Louis is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a straightforward, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief and anger. She aims to make sessions a calm place to speak honestly and figure out practical next steps.

Her background includes supporting people with eating and food-related issues, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and recovery from addictive behaviours.

Background and approach

She also works with people facing family and blended family tensions, communication problems, control issues and the fallout of separation or infidelity. Veteran and armed forces issues, codependency and feelings of isolation are additional areas she addresses. Alison practises client-centred therapy, which means she listens first and follows the person’s lead.

Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building confidence to make choices that feel right. The work is collaborative rather than prescriptive. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and brings a decade of practical experience to sessions.

Conversations tend to be plainspoken and respectful, with an emphasis on honesty and clarity. People who come to her can expect help untangling guilt, shame and emptiness, and developing clearer boundaries and communication. The aim is to support steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Ways of working Alison names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The counsellor offers an accepting, non-judgemental space and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach often helps with anxiety, relationship worries, feelings of emptiness and decisions about change.

When someone is coping with addiction, compulsions or eating concerns, the work focuses on the person’s experience and what they want to change. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and confidence so practical steps feel possible rather than overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will happen together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the way sessions run to match those needs in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing is more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
