About Alison
Alison Dace is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can talk about difficult feelings without worry. Alison acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and encourages gentle first steps.
Alison uses straightforward conversation to uncover what matters most to each person. She focuses on creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to break problems into smaller, manageable parts so change feels possible. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support recovery from trauma, address relationship problems and manage addictive behaviours. Alison helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck and tries practical ways of responding differently.
The emphasis is on useful skills and small experiments that fit everyday life. With four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Alison has worked across common concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and family of origin issues. She also supports people with body image, caregiving stress and control or communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online using a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison works with each person to test what helps and adjusts the plan as needs and goals become clearer. She explains options in plain terms and asks clients what feels useful so progress is shaped together.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives and schedules. Video calls let people see facial expressions and use visual tools, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
