About Alison
Alison Baxter is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She offers both short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy to adults. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or blocked by recurring patterns in relationships, mood or behaviour.
Alison focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression and anger. She also supports people managing grief, trauma and abuse, difficulties with intimacy, and problems with sleep or eating. Practical life issues like career change, parenting strain and compassion fatigue are part of her caseload too.
Her practice draws on approaches including attachment-based work, client-centred techniques and cognitive behavioural ideas. Sessions combine listening with gentle challenge, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also appear when they suit the client’s goals.
Alison describes therapy as collaborative. She helps people identify what they want to change and plans steps that fit their everyday life. Conversations may involve exploring past relationships, spotting thinking traps, and practising small behaviour changes between sessions.
She is experienced supporting survivors of trauma and abuse alongside people facing relationship breakdown, abandonment issues or difficulties with control and dependency. Sessions are offered in English and Alison accepts international clients.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Alison commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current responses and helps people notice and change those patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce reactivity and improve coping.She also draws on client-centred practices that prioritise listening and collaboration. Together the client and counsellor will review what feels most useful and adapt the mix of approaches to the client’s goals and preferences. Deciding which method to try is part of the work rather than a fixed promise up front.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they focus on talking, noticing patterns and practising small exercises between meetings, which can be managed around daily life.
