About Alison
Alison Faraday is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship struggles and sleep problems. She supports those grappling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, self-esteem or feeling stuck after a life change. Alison listens and helps clients spot patterns in their relationships and daily habits that make sleep and rest harder to find.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify small changes that can help. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on clear steps a person can try between meetings. That might mean practising different ways to speak with others, trying new routines, or testing out coping strategies for anxious nights.
Alison draws on approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, adapting them to each person’s needs. She works collaboratively, encouraging people to set goals and review progress together. The aim is to find manageable ways to improve relationships, mood and sleep over time.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience. Alison is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients can also be supported but clients should confirm current session options before booking.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Alison uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location and availability.
Approaches that support rest and relationships online
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. It can help people understand why they react the way they do with partners or family and why sleep can be affected by relational stress.Client-Centred Therapy centres conversations on the person’s experience and pace. The counsellor listens without directing, helping clients clarify what matters to them and explore changes that might improve rest and daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will talk with clients about their goals, challenges and what feels most helpful. Together they choose techniques and set practical goals, then review what helps and what needs adjusting as sessions continue.
If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Others prefer longer appointments to work through complex relationship or sleep issues. Discussing format and length with the counsellor helps match sessions to everyday life and goals.
