About Alison

Alison Faraday offers support for people handling relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also helps with stress, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, issues around intimacy, and struggles with eating or sleeping. Alison is named early so readers know who they would meet.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and finding practical steps to feel steadier.

Background and approach

Alison pays attention to how past attachments shape current relationships and uses approaches that help spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of relating. Her work is collaborative and down-to-earth. People can expect a calm space to describe problems, reflect on patterns, and practise different responses.

The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that build confidence over time. Alison brings three years of professional experience to her practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works with people who are dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiver stress among other areas. She supports people facing fatherhood issues, codependency, divorce or separation, chronic illness or pain, and struggles with guilt, shame or forgiveness.

Sessions also cover career pressures and compassion fatigue, and she offers help around ADHD, body image and infidelity.

How Alison works online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps when past hurts make trust or closeness difficult and can be useful for relationship problems and attachment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers; it suits those who want a supportive space to reflect. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours, which is helpful for anxiety, low mood and some stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alison will work together with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.

The biography does not list which session formats are provided online, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to meet from a quieter location or during a work break, depending on what suits the person.
