About Alison
BACP. 3 years' experience. Alison Moore works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and ADHD using approaches she describes as integrative and collaborative. She combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment work, mindfulness and client-centred counselling to suit the issue being worked on.
Alison explains emotions as signals that can point to what needs to change. In sessions she helps people notice those signals and talk through what they mean for day-to-day life. She uses practical exercises from CBT and ACT alongside reflective conversation from client-centred and psychodynamic ideas.
People come to her with panic, low mood, post-traumatic stress, workplace stress and relationship or attachment problems. She also works with chronic pain, illness and disability, issues around guilt and shame, and women's concerns. ADHD and social anxiety are also mentioned as areas she supports.
Her approach involves listening, clarification and short exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness practices are offered as a way to reduce reactivity and manage overwhelming feelings. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in relationships and how these affect current difficulties.
Sessions are collaborative and aim to establish what helps most quickly. Alison asks clients to reflect on practical steps and small changes they can try. For parents reading on a phone, she keeps explanations straightforward and focuses on clear next steps.
Alison works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are delivered in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Alison often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working with anxiety, depression and unhelpful thinking. ACT focuses on noticing what matters and taking small steps towards values-based action, while CBT uses practical exercises to change thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain distress.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and interactions. This can help when someone finds themselves repeating the same relationship problems or feeling insecure in close connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative choice is revisited as the work progresses so the approach matches changing needs.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins without travel, and reduce time spent getting to and from appointments. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online work to offer consistent support while helping clients apply therapeutic strategies in everyday life.
