Recognize. Understand. Change.
Getting to Know Me
I believe that feeling truly heard and understood can be the beginning of meaningful change.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. My role is not to judge, advise or tell you what to do, but to work alongside you with curiosity, compassion and respect for your unique experiences.
Every client brings a different story, which is why I tailor therapy to your individual needs, drawing on my training, experience and the goals that matter most to you.
My Story
I’m a qualified psychotherapist based in the UK, originally trained in Los Angeles, where I completed a Master of Science (MSc) in Marital and Family Therapy. This background continues to shape how I understand the connection between relationships, life experiences and emotional wellbeing.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent over 20 years working in education in both the UK and USA, supporting children, young people and their families, including those with additional needs. This experience continues to inform my understanding of relationships, family dynamics and the challenges many parents and carers may face.
My experiences in both psychotherapy and education have reinforced my belief that people are remarkably resilient. I value the opportunity to support clients as they navigate challenges, develop greater understanding of themselves and create meaningful change in their lives.
What clients have said
"I appreciated how warm and grounded Allison was throughout our sessions. She has a calming presence and helped me feel comfortable opening up about things I had struggled to talk about for a long time."

Self-Care
Outside of therapy, I enjoy travelling, exploring new places, practising yoga, going to the theatre, and spending time with my beloved pets.
I care deeply about the work I do and value the opportunity to support people as they heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.
The Space Where Change Happens
A Gentle Place to Begin
A safe, judgement-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. There’s no pressure to have the right words—just the opportunity to pause, explore and move forward at your own pace.
Connected in the Moment
A genuine, present-focused relationship where you feel truly seen and heard. Through our interactions in the moment, we can gently explore patterns, build awareness and create opportunities for meaningful change.
Together We Grow
Your goals guide our work. Together, we explore patterns, strengthen what supports you and take practical steps that create meaningful changes in your daily life—helping you feel more confident, connected and in control.
Let's work together on your future.
If you are ready to take the first step in a new direction, get in touch with me.
I will support you in gaining more clarity about yourself, understanding your feelings and needs better and developing new paths for your life situation.
