About Allan Mathieson
Allan Mathieson is a qualified psychotherapist who brings a warm, calm presence to work with people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and life transitions. He practises as an integrative counsellor with a person-centred foundation, adapting techniques from different theories to suit each client’s unique needs and session goals. Working collaboratively, Allan helps clients make sense of their experiences and develop practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Sessions are client led so individuals remain in control of themes and priorities while the therapist supports exploration and goal setting. Allan places particular emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, aiming to create a relaxed, non-judgemental atmosphere where clients can feel heard and understood. He often works with people experiencing neurodiversity, men's issues, eating and food-related concerns, family and communication problems, panic and social anxiety, and challenges around self-esteem and life purpose.
Allan describes personal growth as an ongoing process and invests time outside of sessions to research and reflect on how best to support clients between meetings. He does not require homework but will offer tasks or readings when helpful. He is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and follows the professional and ethical standards associated with that membership.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection. In online sessions Allan helps clients recognise attachment styles and how they affect current relationships, which can be useful for couples work, family concerns, and resolving patterns of mistrust or avoidance.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance and collaboration. Allan uses this approach to create a listening space where clients can explore feelings, build self-understanding and strengthen self-esteem - a helpful route for people facing life changes, loneliness, or low self-worth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, skills-based tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. In online work Allan may use CBT techniques to address anxiety, panic, social fears, and unhelpful coping strategies by teaching coping strategies and structured ways to test and reframe thoughts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Allan works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts the mix of approaches as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Allan is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility and ease of access for people in different locations and schedules. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family life, and connect with a registered professional from wherever the client is based.
