About Alison
Alison Faraday is a counsellor who helps people untangle difficult relationships and the feelings that come with them. She works with people facing issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and challenges linked to parenting or career. Alison also supports those coping with trauma, attachment worries, ADHD and matters connected to adoption and foster care.
Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and on small changes that make life easier. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people spot patterns that keep causing pain.
Alison uses a mix of methods to suit each person. That might include looking at how early relationships shape current problems, using solution-focused ideas to set clear goals, or applying cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts. She adjusts her approach as the work develops.
She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and has three years of professional experience. Alison practises in the United Kingdom and takes international enquiries when appropriate.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape present relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect trust and closeness. It is useful for issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns and relationship cycles.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with warmth and acceptance so people can find their own solutions. This approach suits those who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and make choices at their own pace.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to change behaviour. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and some eating or addiction-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan that fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
Please confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow people to choose quieter or more convenient times. Some formats are better for brief check-ins while others suit longer reflective sessions, so practical fit is considered when scheduling.
