Hi, I'm Alyson. I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor professionally registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have extensive experience supporting people affected by anxiety, low mood, abuse, relationship issues, bereavement, trauma and low self-esteem. I have also gained significant experience supporting those affected by the Troubles in Northern Ireland , working with PTSD, complex trauma and transgenerational trauma.

Many of us have times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope. I believe everyone has the ability to change, given the right conditions, environment and support , and that begins from the moment you enter the therapeutic space, which I aim to make warm, caring and safe.

As an integrative counsellor I can work in a way that is truly tailored to you, drawing on humanistic, psychodynamic and CBT approaches. I work ethically, maintain confidentiality, and my goal is always to help you feel at ease , so that our sessions become a space where you can talk about whatever you need to, feel genuinely supported in making sense of your experience, and move forward in whatever way feels right for you.
