About Alison
Alison Faraday is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and stress. Her work also covers intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, career issues and questions around identity including LGBT matters.
Alison listens with a client-centred focus, letting people lead the conversation while offering steady reflection and practical steps. She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. Sessions are paced to suit the individual, not a fixed template.
She uses elements of attachment-based thinking to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current feelings. Cognitive behavioural ideas are brought in when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Solution-focused techniques support short-term goals and practical change.
Alison has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who wish to work in English.
People who choose Alison typically want clear, conversational sessions that combine listening with straightforward suggestions. To begin, readers are invited to consider what they most want to change and how they would like sessions to feel.
How Alison’s approaches translate to online therapy
Alison commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s experience and pace. That approach is about listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions, which can work well in remote sessions where conversation is the main tool.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and where those patterns come from. This helps when people want to change repeated relationship difficulties or feel stuck in certain roles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, used selectively, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments to see what changes in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try methods that match their needs and goals. That collaborative process helps shape what happens over a few sessions rather than forcing a single method from the start.
