Therapeutic approaches and online support
Alison integrates evidence-informed methods to suit each person’s situation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - exploring connection and attachment can help with difficulties in relationships, abandonment concerns and feelings of isolation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for people who have experienced abuse, traumatic events or prolonged grief.These approaches are offered within a client-centred frame, so Alison works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process and she will discuss options and adapt the work as therapy progresses.
Online sessions make it possible to access therapy by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility considerations and distance. These options allow people to continue consistent work from different locations and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with registered professionals like Alison.
