About Alison
Alison Simone is a counsellor with nine years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies to match each person's needs. Alison aims to listen with respect and compassion and to make the first sessions feel manageable for someone taking a difficult step.
Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and addiction. She also helps people dealing with family conflict, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, and sleep or eating difficulties. Codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns are listed among other focus areas she addresses.
Alison mixes person-centred listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy. She also uses existential and narrative ideas to help people find meaning and reframe unhelpful stories about themselves. Sessions tend to be collaborative and tailored, with an emphasis on what the client wants to do differently.
Her background includes a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, shown as BACP, and nearly a decade of practice. Alison says she combines scientific ideas with personal reflection to support lasting change, including using the concept of neuroplasticity to explain how habits can shift over time.
People who choose to work with her can expect a gentle, goal-aware process. She helps set realistic steps and reviews progress together. The approach is practical and flexible to suit different life circumstances.
Integrative therapy online with practical tools
Alison commonly draws on client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred therapy involves open listening and following your priorities, which helps when someone needs a calm space to be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.She also brings existential ideas into the conversation, helping people reflect on meaning, choice and values when facing life transitions. These approaches are used together so the focus can shift from understanding the past to building clear steps forward. Finding the best mix is part of the process and she works with clients to agree what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly sessions around work and family commitments.
