About Allison

Allison Abaza is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or traumatic events. She meets each person where they are and works from a respectful, listening-first stance. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that first step as important and brave.

Allison holds BACP credentials and has three years of professional experience working with a range of life difficulties. She helps people cope with relationship strains, family concerns, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Her work also covers issues such as panic attacks, mood difficulties, and post-traumatic stress. In sessions she uses client-centred methods to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the individual. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage distressing thoughts and physical tension.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s comfort. Allison encourages practical steps alongside reflection, such as short exercises to try between meetings.

This combination aims to make progress feel tangible while also exploring deeper causes. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence that emphasises collaboration. Allison works with clients to set clear goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.

She accepts people across the United Kingdom and also takes international clients, offering a range of online session formats.

How Allison’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means conversations follow the client’s priorities and the counsellor reflects back what they hear to build clarity and trust. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and understood before making changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and calm racing thoughts. These techniques are useful for anxiety, panic, and the physical effects of trauma, and can be practised between sessions to build steady coping skills.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and feelings that can affect current choices. It helps people see where patterns began and consider different ways of relating in present life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Allison will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She reviews progress together and adjusts the focus if something else would be more helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messages or chat allow quick check-ins or shorter sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent contact with a registered or accredited professional.
