About Alison

Alison Bubbins brings an open, down-to-earth presence to her counselling practice, often paired with a bit of quirkiness - think bold hair and visible tattoos - that reflects a relaxed, authentic style. She works in an integrative way, blending person-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, and broader psychotherapeutic methods to shape sessions around each person rather than fitting people to a model. Alison emphasises collaboration, meeting clients where they are and working with them rather than on them, and she uses warmth and lightness when it feels helpful to ease difficult conversations.

Her approach is explicitly affirming of diverse lifestyles and identities, and she offers a nonjudgemental space for people exploring anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, intimacy and kink-related topics, grief, relationship issues, addiction and other concerns. Alison holds BACP - a credential with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional training and adherence to recognised practice standards.

Creating a sense of safety and freedom is central to her work, because meaningful change often follows from feeling seen and accepted. At present Alison is able to accept live chat clients only, due to family commitments and the unpredictable noise of school holidays in her home environment.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support

Alison draws on person-centred therapy, which centres on empathic listening and creating a nonjudgemental space where clients can explore their own values and choices, often useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. She also integrates cognitive behavioural therapy - a practical, goal-oriented method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can be effective for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. These approaches are combined with broader psychotherapeutic techniques to tailor work to each individual’s needs.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alison works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they review what is helping and adjust the approach as needed.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options increase accessibility for people who prefer remote support or who are located outside the therapist’s immediate area, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care across different situations.
