About Allison

Allison Abaza is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people handle stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. She works from the belief that each person knows their story best and can draw on personal strengths to move forward.

Allison's approach is warm and respectful, intended to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who may be worried or unsure. Allison uses client-centred ways of working to prioritise each person's concerns and goals.

Background and approach

She also brings mindfulness techniques that teach simple ways to calm the mind and manage overwhelming feelings. Her psychodynamic background helps uncover patterns that might keep repeating in relationships or emotional responses. She has three years of professional experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Allison supports people dealing with relationship strain, family tension, trauma and abuse, and the stress that comes with major life transitions. Other areas she can help with include attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of money worries. She also addresses mood difficulties, panic, post-traumatic stress and feeling isolated.

Allison offers sessions in English and works with people locally in the UK and with international clients. Her style aims to be collaborative and down to earth, helping people identify steps they can try between sessions.

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

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Allison works using client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. This approach helps people set their own goals and feel understood before moving forward.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce intense feelings in the moment. These exercises are practical for stress, panic and anxiety and can be practised between sessions.

Her psychodynamic perspective looks at repeated patterns and past experiences that influence current reactions. That can be useful for relationship issues, attachment worries and long-standing emotional difficulties.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their needs, goals and comfort level. She adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet with a therapist. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or messaging suits people who prefer writing or need ongoing text-based support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
