Online Counselling Across the UK

Online counselling offers a flexible and confidential way to access support from the comfort of your own space.

For many people, online sessions can feel more accessible, private and easier to fit around everyday life, especially when dealing with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, grief, stress or difficult personal experiences.

Counselling provides space to talk openly, safely and without judgement, whether sessions take place online or face-to-face.

Online counselling sessions are available across the UK using secure video platforms.

How Online Counselling Works

Online counselling sessions take place using secure video platforms, allowing you to access support wherever you feel most comfortable.

Sessions offer the same confidential and supportive space as face-to-face counselling, with the flexibility to attend from home or another private setting.

Many people find online counselling helpful because it:

  • removes travel time
  • feels more accessible
  • offers greater privacy
  • fits more easily around work, family or daily life
  • allows support to feel more manageable emotionally

Sessions typically last around 50 minutes.

Support for Anxiety, Grief and Emotional Wellbeing

Online counselling can support a wide range of emotional experiences and life challenges.

  • emotional overwhelm
  • relationship difficulties
  • periods of change or uncertainty

Support is tailored to your individual experiences, needs and pace.

A Calm and Confidential Space to Talk

Starting counselling can feel uncertain, especially if you have never experienced therapy before.

Online counselling provides a safe and supportive space to talk openly at your own pace, without pressure to explain everything perfectly or have all the answers.

Many people find it easier to open up emotionally when speaking from a familiar and comfortable environment.

Is Online Counselling Effective?

Online counselling can be just as valuable and meaningful as face-to-face counselling for many people.

The relationship between counsellor and client remains central, whether sessions happen online or in person.

What matters most is having a safe, supportive and confidential space where you feel comfortable exploring thoughts, emotions and experiences honestly.

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.”

Therapy with Alison for 12 months on domestic abuse

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.”

Therapy with Alison for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem

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.”

Therapy with Alison for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, and ADHD

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”
