About Alison
Alison Faraday is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are having trouble in relationships and with related issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and stress.
She helps people sort out difficult family dynamics, problems with partners, and struggles with friends or colleagues. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Alison talks through practical steps clients can try and notices patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. That means she pays attention to unhelpful thoughts and habits, and also how past relationships shape current feelings. Sessions tend to be focused and goal-orientated while still allowing space to talk through difficult feelings.
Alison offers short-term work for specific problems and longer conversations for deeper issues. She uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals and psychodynamic ideas when it helps to explore earlier experiences. She checks in about practical next steps each session.
Clients can expect straightforward language and a plan for what to try between sessions. She accepts people from the UK and international clients. Before booking, people are asked to confirm the current session options offered.
How Alison uses structured approaches in online work
Alison commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas when working with clients. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when people feel stuck repeating the same relationship dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide whether to focus on thought-work, relationship patterns or practical problem solving. That collaborative process guides session structure and what is tried between meetings.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and saving travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to join from a quieter location.
