About Alison

Alison Baxter works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem and related concerns. She offers both longer‑term psychotherapy and shorter counselling, using a mix of approaches to suit each person. Alison is registered with the NCPS and has four years' experience in practice.

She sees people who are dealing with grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger and career stress. Other areas she addresses include attachment problems, abandonment, communication and control issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people coping with divorce, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue.

Alison describes her way of working as integrative. She draws on attachment‑based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and client‑centred methods to focus on the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to work on thoughts and behaviours, and mindfulness to help with present‑moment coping.

Sessions are aimed at helping people find clarity and practical steps forward. In longer work she may explore past experiences and relationship patterns. In shorter counselling she focuses on immediate goals and coping strategies.

She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the Talk to a counsellor online button.

How Alison applies therapeutic approaches in online work

Alison commonly draws on attachment‑based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour; this can help with relationship problems, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. She also uses client‑centred methods which focus on the person’s experience and priorities, offering space to discuss what matters most in the moment. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and practical behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as needed, so the plan evolves with the client's needs. The collaboration helps decide whether to focus on insight, skills or a mix of both.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check‑in sessions, or choosing not to use video if that helps with concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible ways of working to help sessions slot into busy routines.
