Alison Gordon

Alison Gordon is a BACP registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She has worked in both hospital and community mental health settings for around 15 years, which sparked her interest in therapeutic work and ongoing training. Alison aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

She focuses on clear, collaborative conversations that help people understand their difficulties. Alison uses a mix of well-known approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and person-centred listening to help clients spot patterns and try different ways of responding. She emphasises strengths and real-life steps rather than jargon.

Alison has supported people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, addictions, grief, trauma, anger, eating and sleeping difficulties, and workplace or career concerns. She also works with people facing neurodiversity, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and attachment or abandonment themes. Her work often combines practical coping skills with attention to personal history and relationships.

Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on what feels useful day to day. Alison encourages people to name small, achievable changes and to build on what already works in their lives. She describes therapy as a partnership where the client’s goals shape the work.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to Alison’s availability. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work

Alison draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and attachment-focused ways of working to help people make sense of thoughts and feelings and try different responses. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify values and take small steps toward a life that feels meaningful despite difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people find new ways of relating and feeling safer in close interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alison works collaboratively to identify what fits best based on the client’s goals, experiences and preferences. She will suggest approaches, adapt techniques, and check in regularly so the work stays relevant and practical for daily life.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people value remote sessions because they can fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full face-to-face slot is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to help clients maintain consistency and apply strategies between sessions while keeping therapy manageable alongside everyday commitments.
