About Alison
Alison Baxter offers a calm, approachable space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She introduces herself by name and aims to help clients find clearer thinking and more ease in daily life. Her way of working suits people seeking either shorter counselling or longer-term therapy.
Alison makes sessions simple to understand and focused on practical change. Alison uses a mix of therapeutic approaches chosen with each person in mind.
Background and approach
She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at close relationships and how early bonds shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Client-Centred work keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s own priorities and pace.
Her background includes four years of practice and registration with NCPS, which is shown as NCPS. She has supported people facing loss, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions cover issues like attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems, plus feelings of isolation, guilt and emptiness. Alison aims to help clients notice patterns, make small shifts, and try out different ways of relating to themselves and others. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and from other countries, and offers appointments through the service’s usual booking process.

How Alison works online
She also draws on Client-Centred work that keeps the pace and direction guided by the client. That approach means the therapist listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the person. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as therapy progresses, so the process is collaborative and responsive to your goals.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or work gets in the way. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography did not list them. Registered or accredited professionals can often offer flexible scheduling, shorter check-ins, or alternatives that reduce time away from work, and the therapist will help arrange sessions that suit daily routines.
