About Alison
Alison Dace is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. She knows starting therapy can feel hard and she acknowledges that first step as important.
Alison draws on four years of clinical experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions. She also helps with relationship concerns, attachment worries and family of origin issues. Her practice includes work on abandonment, communication and codependency problems.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on making space for thoughts and feelings. She encourages open conversation and avoids judgement. The approach is practical - talking through what is happening now and trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Alison offers a range of ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. She stays mindful of each persons preferences and paces the work to suit them. The aim is to build tools that reduce immediate distress and help people cope better over time.
She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. People come to her when they want straightforward support for anxiety, recovery from difficult experiences, or help managing addictive behaviours.
Practical approaches for online anxiety support
Alison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on keeping things simple and useful. One common approach emphasises talking through current worries and learning coping strategies to reduce anxiety day to day; this helps with stress, panic and persistent worry. Another involves looking at patterns in relationships and attachment so people can change unhelpful habits and improve communication and boundaries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison works with each person to identify what matters most, then tries methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something isnt working.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when distance or time makes in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and avoid needing to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, for people who prefer writing, or when bandwidth is limited. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still getting consistent support.
