About Alison
Alison Simone is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression and addiction. Alison also helps with relationship problems, grief, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career changes and coping with life transitions.
Her background blends several therapeutic approaches so sessions can focus on what matters now. She uses client-centred work to follow the person’s concerns and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Narrative and existential ideas are also part of the mix, helping people make sense of past events and to weigh meaning and choices.
In practical terms Alison offers talk-based therapy where the person sets priorities and the counsellor works alongside to test changes. Sessions look at patterns that maintain problems, and at small experiments to try different ways of thinking or acting. She also brings mindfulness tools to manage symptoms such as anxiety, sleeplessness or racing thoughts.
Alison notes specific experience with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control difficulties, dissociation and the impacts of domestic violence or separation. She works with drug and alcohol concerns and eating-related difficulties as well.
To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and Alison accepts clients from international locations.
How Alison uses approaches online and what they do
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change in their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alison will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide which tools to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress or new concerns appear.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used for online work. Confirm the available session formats before booking to know whether video, phone or other options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and travel and can allow more frequent short check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt CBT exercises, narrative tasks and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so the work continues between meetings.
