About Allan
Allan Mathieson is a psychotherapist who works with people feeling stuck, anxious or unsure about life changes. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he brings four years of clinical experience to each session. Allan aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and busy people.
He uses a person-centred style that keeps the conversation led by the client.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps to reach agreed goals. Allan draws on other approaches as needed so the work fits the problem being discussed. Allan often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns and coping with major life changes.
He also works with issues such as attachment, eating and food-related problems, process addiction and social anxiety. Neurodiversity and young adult concerns are within his focus areas as well. In session he aims to be calm, genuine and non-judgemental.
He does not impose homework but will offer tasks or readings when they might help with progress between sessions. Allan believes that small changes between meetings add up to meaningful improvement. Therapy with him is collaborative: goals are set together and the pace is tailored to the person.
He spends time outside sessions thinking about how to support each client, and he adjusts methods so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Allan will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps ensure the chosen methods feel right and useful rather than imposed.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around family life, work or study while still doing meaningful therapeutic work.
