About Allan
Allan Mathieson is a psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He takes an individual-led approach, helping people work through anxiety, stress and life changes at a steady, manageable pace. Allan aims to create a calm session atmosphere so clients can talk openly and set goals together.
Allan uses a person-centred style and draws on other approaches as needed. That means he listens first and then adapts techniques to suit a person’s situation.
Background and approach
He places weight on the relationship in the room and seeks to be genuine, relaxed and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding deeper patterns. Allan may help people spot unhelpful thoughts, practise new communication habits or look at attachment and relationship issues.
He is open to discussing topics that are often misunderstood, such as neurodiversity and men’s concerns. Allan describes therapy as collaborative work that continues between sessions. He does not require homework but will offer tasks or readings when they might help progress.
He spends time preparing between meetings to tailor the next session to each person’s needs. With four years' experience, Allan supports people dealing with relationship and family stress, low self-esteem, panic and social anxiety, eating and process addictive behaviours, and other concerns. He works in English and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom.

How Allan works online
He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT-style techniques can be useful for panic, social anxiety and stress because they break problems down into clear steps and practice tasks between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Allan discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shapes the plan in collaboration with each client. That means the method can shift as needs change rather than being fixed from the start.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to help maintain continuity when life is busy.
