About Alison
Alison Baxter is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions easy to follow. Clients often come with worries about anxiety, relationships, loss or past trauma.
Alison works to help people find more clarity and calm in everyday life. Alison blends a few different approaches to fit each person. She draws on Existential ideas to look at meaning and choice.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work helps to untangle relationship patterns that keep causing pain. She also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard during sessions. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns.
This includes stress, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, work and career pressures, and issues around intimacy and body image. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, dissociation, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Alison has four years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential.
She offers both shorter counselling and longer-term psychotherapy depending on what a person needs. Sessions can be arranged by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit practical needs. People who come to Alison will find a collaborative approach.
She aims to help clients understand their options and try practical steps between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions and better ways to manage day-to-day challenges.

Online support
Therapy approaches you can use online
Existential Therapy asks practical questions about meaning, choice and values. It helps people who feel empty, stuck or unsure about life direction to consider what matters to them and make small changes that reflect their priorities.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps with trust issues, communication problems and patterns that lead to repeated conflict or withdrawal in relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting rather than giving advice. It helps people feel understood, build self-trust and decide what steps to try next.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, worries and life context, and then try approaches that suit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to share thoughts in writing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into everyday routines while using the approaches described above.
