About Alison

Alison Louis is a UK-based counsellor with ten years of professional experience. She aims to be down to earth and approachable, offering calm support to people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger or addictive behaviours. Alison uses simple, direct conversation to help people feel heard and understood as they think through next steps.

She creates a non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about what they are facing. Sessions focus on listening first, then on helping people make clearer choices that fit their values and goals.

Background and approach

Alison emphasises small, practical steps rather than pressure to change quickly. Her work covers relationship difficulties, eating and food-related issues, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, and the strains of isolation or loneliness. She also supports people dealing with family problems, infidelity, codependency and the aftermath of separation.

Alison draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. That approach helps when someone needs to rebuild confidence, explore identity, or find better ways to manage emotions and cravings. People who come to Alison often want a straightforward, compassionate guide while they sort things out.

She encourages honest conversation, gradual progress, and making choices that feel authentic to the individual.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is heard, and helps the client name their feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, relationship stress and when someone wants to explore who they are without judgment.

In practice Alison uses that listening-first style to help people clarify choices and take small steps forward. She works alongside clients to decide which ways of working feel most helpful, and adapts sessions to suit each person’s aims and pace. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible, on-the-go support. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
