Reflective Moments with Alison
Based in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, I offer face-to-face, online and telephone counselling. My practice is a warm, inviting space where confidentiality, safety and non-judgement are at the heart of everything I do. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, where you have choice, control and a sense of being truly heard.
I’m Alison, (MNCPS) I'm a qualified integrative therapist and an accredited member of NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). I am also a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
​Caring deeply and listening with empathy have always been a part of who I am, and therapy allows me to use those qualities to make a difference in people’s lives. I’m passionate about one-to-one counselling, but I also love working with groups, creating a space where people can connect, learn, and grow together in a supportive environment.
My Story
My journey into therapy began when my own daughter needed support for anxiety, an experience that inspired me to step into a new path after 20 years as a stay-at-home mother. I wanted to show my children that it’s never too late to grow, learn and pursue what truly matters.
Until I began my therapy training, I wasn’t truly aware of my own need for therapy or how transformative it could be. Through this journey, I’ve uncovered and acknowledged hidden issues that had been shaping my thoughts and behaviours without me realising it. Learning about why I am the way I am and how my past has influenced my present has been life-changing. It has allowed me to grow, heal and become the best version of myself, while remaining authentically Alison.
Outside of work, I am a naturally sociable person and self-confessed bookworm who loves nothing more than curling up with a good read and a glass of wine, often diving into books about people, psychology and what makes us who we are.
