Invaluable
★★★★★
“ I can highly recommend Alison. It was bereavement and depression that led me to her and I found her therapy style to be supportive and tailored to my needs. She was very intuitive to the style of therapy I needed session-to-session depending on the ongoing situation. Her positivity and empathy made me feel very comfortable and safe and therefore allowed me to talk freely through how I was feeling and be open to her guidance on how to deal with difficult feelings. I would highly recommend.”

“ I’ve struggled with deep seated anxieties for many years as a result of childhood trauma and abuse. Seeing Alison has been one of the best decisions of my life as she has helped me so much to understand the impact of my childhood, and helped me to leave that burden behind. I know see myself in a completely different light, and look forward positively to the future.”

Life changing experience
★★★★★
“ Before I met with Alison I was struggling with the juggle of work and managing my toddler. I had no patience, wasn't enjoying life or my time with my son. I felt like I was failing in all aspects and struggling to see the positives in my life that were going on around me. I was so hard on myself and critical of others constantly. Having the sessions with Alison has been completely life changing. Truth be told i'm kicking myself for not getting the help and support sooner which could have saved me years so suffering. I have learnt how to not let little things get to me. I'm able to communicate how I'm feeling to others in a much more structured and beneficial way. I've learnt that bad things will still happen, that's a way of life however not everything is my fault. In terms of what i've learnt myself the biggest thing is how valid my feelings are. In the passed i've been made to feel that I shouldn't be sad/ have these feelings as 'worse things are happening to others' or that I was 'forgetting the good parts' in my life with no understanding of what the huge life changing events in my childhood can't be magically fixed by other happy memories. I've learnt how to accept some of these events and remember that just because they happened to me does not mean history is going to repeat itself. I've learnt that actually I am a good parent because my son is my world and I will still do anything for him, yet it doesn't make me a bad parent not doing everything perfectly all the time. I am calmer now. I don't sweat when my son is having a ready meal for tea or when i'm leaving him to spend time with friends. I'm going to be unapologetically me and not constantly worry if i'm doing enough for other people. I know I can have more constructive conversations with my husband about how i'm feeling and when something is bothering me. I'm so excited now what the future holds for me and for our family.”
