How these approaches can help online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the client, which can help with feelings of anger, loss and low self-esteem.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. It helps people spot what works, set clear goals and build practical steps to reduce stress or improve sleep and daily coping.

Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience and how they relate. This can be useful when anger, guilt or shame feel overwhelming, as it creates a way to understand and calm those parts rather than fight them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alison will work collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust methods as progress unfolds.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend regular appointments. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and which way of working will best suit your routine and needs.
