About Alison
Alison Faraday is a counsellor who helps people struggling with relationships, self-esteem and depression. She supports those facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and changes in life. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Alison listens closely to each person’s story and helps them notice patterns that make problems worse. She uses a mix of talking and practical steps so people can try things between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, realistic changes as well as understanding feelings and past experiences. Her background includes three years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Alison has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, career difficulties, intimacy issues and ADHD-related struggles.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, body image and chronic illness. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to sort out what matters most. Alison aims to make complex issues easier to understand and tackle, whether that means improving communication, building boundaries or managing low mood.
She adapts methods from attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches to suit each person. That mix helps people look at relationships, beliefs and behaviours together. The goal is clearer thinking and practical steps that fit everyday life.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alison will talk through options with each person and decide together what to try first. She adapts methods over time, checking that the work fits the person’s goals and day-to-day life.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter reflections or when someone needs flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping continuity over weeks and months.
