Alison "Ali" Pember , BACP

Alison "Ali" Pember is a dual-trained therapist and coach with 13 years of experience who creates a compassionate, non-judgemental space for people to explore what is troubling them. She helps clients investigate both why they feel the way they do and practical ways to make lasting change, blending therapeutic exploration with coaching strategies to support movement forward.

Her practice uses mind-body methods such as EFT tapping, mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and breathwork to help regulate emotions, identify and shift negative patterns, and release limiting beliefs. These techniques are applied alongside conversational work to make emotional regulation and insight more accessible in everyday life.

Alison has supported people coping with relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma, depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and career concerns. She works with issues including self-esteem, grief, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, tailoring sessions to each person’s goals. Her aim is to help clients find greater clarity, confidence, calm, and contentment as they move through change.

Mind-body and Emotionally-Focused Support Online

Mindfulness Therapy encourages gentle, present-moment awareness through practices like breath work and guided attention. It helps people notice patterns of thought and feeling without judgement, which can ease stress, reduce rumination, and support clearer decision-making.

Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between body and emotion, using bodily awareness, movement, and somatic techniques to help release stored tension and process traumatic or overwhelming experiences. This approach can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and situations where emotions are experienced physically.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and reshape emotional responses within relationships, improving attachment and communication. It is often used for couples and for individuals working on relational patterns and connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and immediate needs, then adapt methods from these approaches to create a tailored plan that fits each person.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access therapy from home or elsewhere, offering flexibility around work, family, and mobility. Working online can provide consistent support through varied formats, enabling ongoing progress with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt techniques to the digital setting.
