Approaches that translate to online therapy

Alison draws on client-centered work that places the client's experience at the heart of the process - the therapist follows the client's pace, reflects what matters most and helps clarify personal goals in a supportive way. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships and individual experience, which can help with attachment issues, communication problems and processing strong feelings. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and strengthen emotional regulation, often supporting anxiety, stress and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Alison works together with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Alison is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access registered professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
