About Allan

Allan Mathieson is a psychotherapist who works with people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and draws on four years of clinical experience to support clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Allan uses a person-centred way of working so the client leads sessions and sets the pace.

He brings a calm and friendly manner and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and non-judgemental.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical steps the client can try between meetings. When appropriate Allan integrates techniques from other approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. He explains options plainly and adapts methods to the person in front of him rather than following a single formula.

Homework is not required but is offered when it helps progress. Allan has experience supporting people with attachment issues, communication problems and aspects of neurodiversity such as Autism and Asperger Syndrome. He also works with concerns like eating and food-related issues, panic attacks, process addictions and feelings of isolation.

People who choose Allan often want a steady, collaborative space to make sense of difficult moments. He focuses on listening, helping clients build clearer patterns of thought and behaviour, and on small changes that add up over time.

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

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and connection. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life.

Client-centred therapy centres on the person's experience, offering a non-judgemental space to be heard. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions and feeling less alone by prioritising the client's pace and choices.

Cognitive behavioural ideas look at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and introduce practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles. That work often includes short tasks to practise between sessions and clear steps to test new behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Allan will work with clients to decide which way of working feels most helpful, and he adapts methods based on the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client check progress and adjust plans together.

Online formats suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit shorter, more frequent check-ins and offer flexibility around work or caring responsibilities. Registered professionals use these options to make therapy more accessible and to match the way a person prefers to work.
