How I support your team
Counselling provides employees with a confidential space to talk about challenges affecting their wellbeing and performance.
Employees may be dealing with stress and burnout, anxiety or low mood, grief and personal loss, work-related pressure, or personal and family difficulties.
Support is tailored to each individual, helping them manage challenges, build resilience, and return to work with greater clarity and focus.
How it works
We start with an initial conversation to understand your organisation and the type of support your team needs.
We then agree a simple structure, including how sessions are delivered and how employees access support, either face to face in Morpeth or online.
Employees attend confidential one to one counselling sessions, giving them a safe space to talk and work through challenges.
All sessions are private, allowing employees to speak openly without concern.
Support can be reviewed and adjusted over time to ensure it continues to meet the needs of your team.
If you would like to explore how this could work for your organisation, we can start with an initial conversation.
1-to-1 counselling for employees
Provide confidential one to one counselling sessions for employees.
Sessions support individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, personal challenges, or work-related issues, helping them understand what is happening and develop practical ways to cope.
Grief and bereavement support
Support employees experiencing loss, whether personal or within the workplace.
Counselling provides a safe space to process grief and adjust during difficult periods.
Stress and anxiety management
Help employees manage stress, anxiety, and pressure.
Counselling supports individuals in understanding triggers, building coping strategies, and maintaining wellbeing at work.
Reflective spaces
Offer time for employees to step back, reflect, and regain perspective.
This can support decision making, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing.
Why it matters
Mental wellbeing has a direct impact on performance, engagement, and retention.
When employees are struggling, it affects focus, productivity, and absence. When they are supported, they are better able to manage pressure and stay engaged in their work.
Providing access to counselling supports employees through difficult periods, improves day-to-day performance, and strengthens workplace culture.

Client feedback
“I would like to send you a huge thank you for your help over the last year. You have been so very helpful, giving practical advice and support after my domestic abuse ordeal. You've been my voice of reason, helping me to ground myself and avoid overthinking, as well as giving me confidence to take back control of my life. I have learned so much from you and from the information and links you've provided. I'm back on my feet with new boundaries and a positive outlook for the first time in 2 years. I can't thank you enough. I wouldn't hesitate to contact you again if required and would 100% recommend you to others.”
“Working with Alison has been wonderful and I would highly recommend her as a therapist. She is an attentive listener, very easy to talk to and has a calm and empathetic demeanour which always made me feel very at ease. I opened about issues that I've kept bottled up for years, and she responded supportively and compassionately, whilst offering tools to help me cope with the problem. I'm incredibly grateful for the positive impact she's had on my outlook for life.”
“Alison is a compassionate person, who listens without judgment. She is easy to talk with and one immediately feels safe. She gives wise counsel and is very supportive. I would highly recommend her.”
“Alison provided me with support to learn and strengthen so many life skills that I felt I lacked. I used to find it very difficult expressing my emotions and would mask as a positive people-pleaser. Through our sessions she made me more self-aware and helped me to look at difficult emotional situations from a different perspective. This then led to helping me look within to see who I was and what my needs were. Now I can comfortably set boundaries and I am more assertive and able to express my wants and needs. Alison always gave me a non-judgmental space to be heard while I worked through a difficult time.”
“Alison is a fabulous and experienced therapist. She has a gentle empathic manner and really helped me discuss deeply sensitive problems and explore why I was facing the difficulties that had become so painful in my life. She set me on the right track and session by session I felt better. Highly recommended”
“Alison helped me through an extremely difficult time in my life with calm kindness and understanding that was exactly what I needed at that point. She gave me the tools to manage my emotions and deal with events in my life in a positive productive way. I will forever be grateful for the impact she has had in my life.”
