Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Alison draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet different needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client's own capacity to find solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to address concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress, often through practical exercises and collaborative problem solving. Existential therapy may also be used to explore meaning, choice, and personal responsibility when questions about purpose or identity are central.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alison works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She adapts techniques as the work progresses so the focus remains relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what suits them. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access registered professionals from different locations, while keeping the therapeutic relationship central to the work.
