About me
In a perfect world, life should be straight forward, enjoyable, creative and stress-free. As we all know, this isn't always the case and sometimes life throws up issues that can become a real challenge to live with and, at times, overwhelming. The good news is that there are a number of ways to move forward and address these problems.
My name is Alison and as a qualified therapist, experienced working with young people and adults, I would welcome the opportunity to see how we might be able to work together to potentially reduce or resolve some of these problems.
I am both an experienced integrative counsellor and an accredited CBT psychotherapist (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). This means I draw on a range of psychological & therapeutic techniques & approaches to deliver an appropriate and tailor made treatment plan for my clients. I work with a wide range of presenting problems including: anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger management, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), addictions, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), health anxiety, PTSD as well as bereavement and loss & low self esteem related problems.
Please use the red email button above to contact me with any questions you might have about my work, or use the mobile number above to speak to me to book an appointment. If I'm not able to answer your call, leave a message & I'll try to get back to you on the same day.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
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).
