Alison Moore, BACP

Alison Moore believes that emotions carry meaning and that each person’s story deserves attention and respect. She offers a calm, supportive space to explore feelings that may feel overwhelming or confusing, whether they stem from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life changes that leave daily living feeling heavy or directionless. Alison recognises that emotions are often signals pointing to deeper needs or experiences, and she works alongside clients to understand those messages and find ways forward.

As a fully qualified integrative therapist, Alison adapts her approach to suit each individual, drawing on a mix of evidence-informed methods to meet specific needs. She supports people aiming to reduce stress and anxiety, process trauma, manage neurodivergence such as ADHD, and improve relationships or coping with chronic illness and pain. Her practice emphasises practical tools as well as emotional understanding, offering strategies tailored to each person’s situation.

Alison listens with empathy and genuine respect, creating a non-judgmental environment where clients are invited to explore their experiences at their own pace. She holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which indicates affiliation with the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, and Alison approaches that first step as a brave and meaningful move toward better self-care and clarity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alison uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people develop psychological flexibility - learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns of avoidance. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection, trust, and emotional safety, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship strain. In addition, Alison employs Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and pace guide the process.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alison treats this as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of techniques as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternatives for people who prefer typing or need shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists who can adapt to each client’s circumstances.
