About Alison

Alison Spencer is a UK-credentialed counsellor with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She works to build an open, non-judgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly and honestly, helping clients take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She is a qualified person-centred counsellor who specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic work, and she is also a qualified hypnotherapist. Alison holds BACP and NCPS credentials, recognised professional counselling qualifications in the United Kingdom, which reflect her training and professional standards.

Alison focuses on empowering people to make gentle, sustainable changes. She collaborates with clients to set achievable goals and offers practical and emotional support as they work through difficult transitions and personal challenges. Her approach emphasises understanding, validation, and steady progress toward the outcomes each person hopes to reach.

Approaches and Access for Online Therapeutic Work

Alison uses evidence-based approaches adapted for remote work so clients can engage from home. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - it is practical and goal oriented, often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Psychodynamic work explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships - it can help when long-standing relational or emotional patterns are getting in the way. She is also trained in person-centred methods that prioritise empathy and a collaborative therapeutic relationship to support self-understanding and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alison works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress is made so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Alison is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options help make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limitations while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
