About Alison
Alison Fraser is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with twenty years' experience supporting adults and young people. She offers a warm, empathic presence and aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship worries. Alison focuses on helping clients find direction and relief from overwhelming feelings.
Alison has worked across health and community settings, including roles in specialist mental health and trauma care.
Background and approach
She has experience with addictions, eating problems and childhood abuse, and has provided counselling in schools and community services. Her work has been recognised in published examples of clinical practice. Her approach combines depth and practical tools.
Alison draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and inner patterns alongside techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. This mix aims to help people understand longstanding patterns and practise small, helpful changes. Sessions are paced to suit each person.
Alison listens for what matters most and then helps set straightforward goals together. She also uses attachment-informed thinking to help with relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. People commonly come for support with low mood, trauma, bereavement, parenting strain, neurodiversity-related challenges and work-related stress.

Online support
Online approaches that balance meaning and action
Alison blends depth-focused and skill-based methods to help people by video or text. Jungian therapy looks at symbols, dreams and recurring life themes to uncover meaning and long-term patterns; it can help when someone wants to understand why certain problems keep returning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while acting on personally important values, and it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison treats this as a collaborative process - she listens to what matters to the client and tries methods that fit their goals. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and purposeful. Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful change.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
