About Alison

Alison Simone is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns. She works in the United Kingdom and brings nine years of professional experience to her practice. Alison meets each person with respect and sensitivity and adapts the work to fit their needs.

Her sessions draw on several practical methods. She uses client-centred listening to prioritise what matters to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural work helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Trauma-focused methods are brought in when past events affect daily life. Alison also includes existential and mindfulness ideas when they suit a person's goals.

Existential work looks at meaning, choice and direction. Mindfulness supports noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. She often helps people with family-related stress, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, grief, low mood and issues around eating or sleep.

Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, addiction problems and coping with life changes such as separation. Alison explains therapeutic steps plainly and builds plans collaboratively. She encourages small, practical changes and supports people as they try them.

For those exploring therapy for the first time, she aims to make the process straightforward and compassionate.

Ways of working Alison names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Integrative approaches for online recovery and coping

Alison uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy means she listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to relieve symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Trauma-focused methods are also part of her online offer when past events are affecting day-to-day life. These approaches aim to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and teach grounding skills to manage strong emotions. Alison approaches choice of method collaboratively and will work with each person to find which approaches fit their needs and goals.

Online therapy offers flexibility across formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need ongoing, brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional coping.
