"Thank you Alison so much for listening, your impartial advice and for your expert guidance through my "fog". I am a lot clearer than when we first met and that is down to your support. I will continue working on this new path and hopefully will achieve a little peace! (If I lose my way I will be in touch!)

About Me...
I work in private practice as a Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist from my private rooms located close to Bishops Stortford, Great Dunmow and Stansted Airport.
In addition to working in private practice, I work as a therapist with the NHS and other organisations providing therapeutic support to children, adolescents and adults. I have worked in training, development and social care roles for Local Authorities, Education and National charities including MIND, Homestart and Catch 22, providing support for children and families with complex needs.
I am an Accredited member of the National Counselling Society and MBACP. I hold a Degree in Counselling and an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Practice, Certificate in Child Counselling and I am a qualified and accredited Hypnotherapist.
Making a difference to the lives of others is important to me. I am warm, caring, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy supporting others, especially seeing the improvements that individuals make in their lives as a result of therapy.
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, which means that I am able to work from a number of different theoretical frameworks and adapt my skills and training to your individual needs. I can work with you on either a short term or long term basis, supporting you to make changes to your current life or work through past pain.
I believe that we are all capable of living life to the fullest, but sometimes life presents us with difficult situations leading to confusion, anxiety and unhappiness. I will work with you to help you understand your thoughts and emotions, explore options to find new ways to cope so you feel more positive about the future.
