About Alison
Alison Simone is a counsellor who uses an integrative, client-centred approach to help people make practical changes. She holds BACP accreditation and draws on nine years of professional experience in the UK. Alison aims to meet each person where they are and tailor conversations to their needs.
She works with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. Alison also supports people facing parenting strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and challenges around addiction and eating. Sleeping and self-esteem difficulties are among the practical concerns she helps people address.
Alison blends several therapy styles rather than relying on just one. That means sessions might focus on current patterns using cognitive behavioural techniques or look at deeper life themes through existential and narrative work. She also uses client-centred listening to prioritise what matters most to the person in the room.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations are shaped around short-term goals where helpful, while also allowing space to look at underlying issues when needed. Alison invites people to take small, steady steps toward better coping and clearer choices.
People who contact her usually complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the counsellor's availability. The format and frequency of sessions are discussed during the first meeting so practical arrangements fit everyday life.
How Alison's approaches translate to online therapy
Alison often uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to the person in front of her. That means the counsellor listens closely, reflects back what she hears and helps the client set the pace and focus of sessions. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through worries and daily struggles.Cognitive behavioural work is another key element she uses to address current problems. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to see what helps. It is practical for issues like anxiety, sleep disruption and mood concerns because it focuses on day-to-day tools and short-term experiments.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Alison will help clients decide whether more present-focused CBT, narrative work about life stories, or existential discussion about meaning feels most helpful. She draws on the person's goals and preferences when shaping the plan.
