About Alison
Alison Simone uses a blend of talking therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She is introduced as a warm, respectful counsellor who focuses on practical steps and honest conversation. Alison works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English to local and international clients.
Alison draws on client-centred practice to keep conversations focused on the person in the room. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle patterns that keep problems going, and Narrative and Existential ideas to make sense of life events and values.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are offered when people want ways to manage strong emotions and return to the present. Her background includes nine years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. This experience includes helping people with depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns and trauma.
She also supports people dealing with addictions, grief and issues around body image and self-esteem. Sessions typically centre on what matters to each person. Alison adapts the pace and focus to suit individual goals - short-term practical work or longer conversations about life patterns.
She aims to be straightforward and calm in sessions, helping people feel heard and clearer about next steps. To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and preferences, and scheduling is arranged after that. Payment follows a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include goal setting, practical exercises and checking how new strategies are working between meetings. This can help with anxiety, depression and habits that feel hard to change.
Existential therapy helps people explore meaning, choices and values when life feels unclear. This approach is useful for those facing major transitions or questions about purpose and direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time from short-term skill building to deeper reflection depending on what is helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less data and can be easier when movement is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
