Alison Whittam
Counsellor
Bio
Alison is a qualified, insured integrative counsellor, who uses
different counselling techniques to suit your individual needs. Alison
works with young people and adults either face to face, online or on the
telephone. Alison also offers Walk and Talk therapy as sometimes walking
side by side can be easier than sitting in a traditional counselling
setting.
Having had counselling for a bereavement many years ago, Alison
understands first-hand how valuable counselling can be to people’s
lives. As a result, her passion for helping others has grown.
Alison’s approach is a relational one and by being compassionate, warm
and showing humanity, together we will work towards understanding your
challenges, uncover strengths and move towards your desired goal.
Before becoming a counsellor, Alison worked in caring roles in education
and in multi-cultural areas. She is here to support you whatever it is
that has brought you to counselling and has experience of working with
issues such as anxiety, awaiting neurodiverse diagnosis, insomnia, or a
dilemma.
Together she will work through this with you in a quiet confidential environment
either indoors or out in the fresh air, whatever suits you.
If you are looking for a counsellor who is non-judgmental and is ethical
in their practice then you have found the right person.
As well as working in private practice, Alison works for two charities
offering low-cost counselling to those on low incomes as well as working
for an Employment Assistance Programme.
In her free time, Alison enjoys time out in nature with her dog, meeting
friends reading and attends her local gym.
Alison offers a 20-minute free informal chat on the telephone.
She provides short, or longer-term therapy, weekly or fortnightly.
