About me
Facebook: Cumbria Counselling - Alison Goldie
Alison is a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor based in the Eden Valley, Cumbria. She works with empathy and compassion to guide you towards your therapeutic goals.
Alison is qualified in Transactional Analysis, and specialises as a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist.
There can be a stigma associated with reaching out for mental health support. Absolutely no one should suffer alone through life’s difficulties.
Whether you are struggling with self esteem, sexuality issues, a recent or historical trauma, relationship issues, problems at work, bereavement, domestic abuse or many other problems, counselling could be hugely beneficial.
Having a trusted, confidential person to talk to can enable you to make sense of yourself and the world around you, and achieve the changes and understanding you are seeking. Counselling can be a challenging path, requiring honesty and openness, but leading to life changing results.
Alison works in a relaxed and friendly environment, building a trusting and healing relationship between herself and you as her client.
Finding the right counsellor for you is vital to achieve your therapeutic goals. To help this I offer a free introductory 10 minute call.
Alison works with individuals and couples.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Finding the right counsellor for you is vital to achieve your therapeutic goals. For this reason we undertake a no commitment assessment session first, in order for us to meet and get a feel for whether we are best suited to work together. Sometimes that initial meeting it the scariest, so if you have any questions or any ways I can make it easier for you, please let me know.
