Alison Dace , BACP

Alison Dace holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings four years of professional experience to her work in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, navigating relationship difficulties, and recovering from trauma and abuse, as well as those dealing with depression. Alison focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and begin to build practical coping strategies.

Her practice aims to balance empathy with evidence-based techniques, helping clients to identify unhelpful patterns and develop new ways of managing day-to-day challenges. She works collaboratively with each person to set goals that reflect their priorities and to move at a pace that feels manageable. Recognizing that starting therapy can take courage, Alison acknowledges that first step and centers that courage as part of the healing process.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Alison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by developing practical coping skills and strategies. These approaches are useful for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood by teaching concrete tools to address negative thought cycles and improve daily functioning.

She also applies trauma-informed methods that focus on processing past painful experiences at a pace the client finds manageable, supporting recovery from trauma and abuse and helping to rebuild a sense of safety and emotional regulation. For clients facing addiction, Alison integrates relapse-prevention concepts and coping skill development to support sustained change and healthier decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alison works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapists explore different techniques together and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility needs. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while fitting therapy into everyday life.
