About Alison
Alison Faraday helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She offers straightforward support for issues like grief, trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and workplace or parenting stress. Alison is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and speaks English.
Her approach is down-to-earth and person-focused. She listens to what matters to the individual and uses a mix of practical techniques and gentle exploration.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make feelings clearer and to find small, manageable steps forward. Alison draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to try out different ways of responding.
Solution-focused conversations help people identify what they want to change and plan realistic next steps. She has worked professionally for three years and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That background informs how she balances listening with practical suggestions.
Alison accepts international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People come wanting clarity, relief from stress, or help after loss or betrayal. Alison aims to create a calm, respectful space where those concerns can be talked through and practical options explored.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will listen to what matters, discuss different ways of working and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means the method can change as needs and goals evolve over time.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging helps when flexibility is needed across a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare or other commitments while still getting focused therapeutic support.
