About Alan
Alan Morris is a counsellor with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career decisions, depression and major life changes. He aims to provide a calm space where clients can talk things through, make sense of difficult events, and find practical ways forward. He works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way.
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small steps that lead to change.
Background and approach
He listens closely and helps people identify coping strategies that fit their daily life. Alan uses client-centred approaches that put the person's own goals at the heart of the work. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable targets.
These methods are blended to suit each person rather than applied in a fixed formula.
Over more than a decade he has supported people dealing with attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, infidelity, loneliness, men's issues, veteran and armed forces matters, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, self-harm, sex and sexual difficulties, sexual assault and broader sexuality topics. He works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Alan describes the step of contacting a counsellor as a difficult but brave move, and he aims to help people feel their decision was worthwhile.

How Alan works online
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours, which can reduce anxiety, low mood and some types of repetitive behaviours.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. Sessions often identify clear goals and build on what is already working, which can be useful for career decisions, relationship concerns and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches over time.
If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Many people find remote sessions help fit counselling into busy lives, for example by making it easier to schedule around work, reducing travel time, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so the work remains practical and goal oriented.
