About Alison
Alison Simone offers a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She uses the client-centred way of working to prioritise how people want to be heard. Alison is listed with the BACP, and she brings nine years of professional experience to sessions in the United Kingdom.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression in straightforward terms. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship difficulties and problems linked to eating or sleeping.
Background and approach
Parents looking for help with parenting strain and family conflict can explore those issues in therapy too. Alison draws on a mix of methods so sessions suit the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to tackle current thoughts and behaviours.
Narrative and existential approaches help people make sense of their life story and values. Her style is collaborative and respectful. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and practical steps to get there.
Alison aims to tailor the plan to each person’s needs rather than following a single recipe. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and works with people who want to include international arrangements. Sessions take place within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Alison works online
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alison will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities and needs shift, and she adapts sessions accordingly.
Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions around work and family life and avoiding travel time. If you need shorter check-ins or prefer not to be on camera, those options can be discussed when confirming session arrangements. The original biography does not specify exact session formats, so please check the available options before booking to make sure they match your day-to-day needs.
