Approaches Alison Uses and How They Work Online
Alison draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life - this approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with change.
Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections, helping clients understand and reshape ways of relating that affect intimacy, trust, and communication.
Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the center of the work, offering empathic listening and unconditional regard so individuals can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions - this approach supports self-esteem, grief work, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alison collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work develops so therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy with Alison is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules, locations, and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access help from home or while traveling and allow clients to choose the format that feels most manageable for them.
