About Allan
Allan Mathieson is a psychotherapist who combines a person-centred way of working with practical techniques drawn from other approaches. He aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for people who feel stuck, anxious or unsure how to move forward. Allan presents himself in a relaxed and genuine manner so clients can feel at ease during sessions.
He uses Client-Centred Therapy as the basis of his practice, keeping sessions led by the client so people stay in control of what they want to focus on. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-based thinking and solution-focused techniques when they suit the session. This blend is tailored to each person rather than applied in the same way for everyone.
Allan pays close attention to the relationship in the room and works to create a non-judgemental space. He does not insist on homework, but can offer tasks or readings between sessions when they might help someone practise new skills or reflect on what was discussed. He believes small steps between sessions add up to meaningful change.
He has experience supporting people with anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns and problems linked to relationships and family life. He also has experience with attachment issues and neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and understands how these can affect everyday interactions.
Allan is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. He works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions via the site.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Allan works from a person-centred base, which focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. This approach aims to help people feel heard and understood, and can be useful for tackling anxiety, self-esteem and life transitions.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That perspective can help with relationship worries, trust issues and feeling isolated. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is another strand he draws on for practical steps to manage anxiety and panic, such as spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allan will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. He adapts techniques session by session, checking in about what feels useful and what to try next.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist from elsewhere in the UK or internationally, depending on arrangements.
