Alison Simone , BACP

Alison Simone is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She combines elements from different therapeutic approaches to tailor a plan that fits each person she works with, drawing on both evidence-informed techniques and a respect for clients' personal beliefs. Alison holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices with an emphasis on sensitivity, respect, and compassion.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, domestic violence, and substance-related difficulties. Alison adapts conversation and interventions to meet the specific needs of each person rather than relying on a single formula.

Alison often integrates person-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies, existential reflection, mindfulness practices, and narrative techniques as appropriate for the client. She emphasizes the brain's capacity for change through neuroplasticity and supports clients in developing new patterns of thought and behavior. Taking the first step can require courage, and Alison aims to make the process approachable while collaborating with clients to set realistic goals and work toward meaningful change. She is open to working with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
