About Alison

Alison Simone is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works in a down-to-earth way and aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs. Alison is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of experience working with a range of concerns.

In sessions she draws on client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person's experience.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding in the moment. These practical tools are balanced with narrative and existential perspectives that look at life stories and what gives life meaning. Alison helps people facing traumas, family conflict, parenting pressures and addiction challenges.

She also supports those dealing with low mood, eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. Additional areas she works with include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiving stress and the fallout from separation and domestic violence. Her sessions blend talking, reflection and simple exercises to try between meetings.

Clients can expect a respectful and sensitive tone, with goals agreed together rather than imposed. The focus is on small, manageable changes people can use in daily life. Alison offers online formats that fit different routines.

She invites those taking a first step to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to suit each person.

Ways of working Alison names

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

How Alison's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience first. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people to find their own solutions, which is useful for low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practise skills for anxiety, stress and sleep problems.

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and values. It helps when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone is questioning purpose and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as sessions progress. That collaborative process means the approach can shift if someone's needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read body language and have fuller conversations, while phone sessions can fit a short break from work and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, reflection over time and written records of thoughts to review between meetings. These options make it easier to arrange regular work around daily life and different routines.
