About Alison

Alison Dace is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, trauma and depression. She works in a straightforward way and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Alison uses plain language and listens carefully so people can say what matters to them.

She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgment. Sessions are practical and geared toward real-life problems, such as coping with intense worry or dealing with the impact of past abuse.

Background and approach

Conversations include exploring patterns, noticing triggers, and trying small changes that make daily life easier. Alison is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of professional experience working with adults in the United Kingdom.

That background informs her approach to common concerns like low mood, addictive behaviour, and difficulties with trust or attachment. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She will help people set simple goals, review progress, and adjust plans as needs change.

This can include short-term work focused on a specific problem or longer conversations about ongoing patterns. Practical details such as session options and how therapy is arranged are discussed during the first meetings. Alison aims to make sessions accessible and straightforward for people balancing work, family, and other commitments.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Alison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online work. One approach focuses on recognising thought and behaviour patterns, helping people identify triggers and experiment with small changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Another approach concentrates on recovery from trauma and abuse by building safety, pacing conversations, and using steady support to process difficult memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will discuss different options and decide together which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family and busy days while keeping the focus on steady, goal-led therapeutic progress.
