About Alison

Alison Bubbins is a personable, slightly quirky counsellor known for an open, down-to-earth style and an emphasis on authenticity. She aims to create a space where clients can be themselves without judgement or pressure, and works collaboratively rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. Her practice is integrative, combining person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and broader psychotherapeutic approaches to tailor work around each individual’s needs.

Alison welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and identities and uses warmth and, where appropriate, gentle humour to ease difficult conversations. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, grief, relationship and family difficulties, sexual and intimacy-related concerns including kink and fetish topics, addictions, sleep and self-esteem problems, and a range of other life challenges. Alison’s approach centres on meeting clients where they are and helping them feel seen and accepted so meaningful change can emerge.

Alison holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects professional training and standards. She is based in the United Kingdom, accepts international clients, and is currently able to take live chat clients only due to family and household constraints during school holidays.

Integrative Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Alison commonly draws on person-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in her online work. Person-centred therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore their feelings and sense of self at their own pace - it is useful for issues like self-esteem, identity, and relationship difficulties. CBT is a structured approach that looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses psychotherapeutic techniques to understand deeper patterns and attachment concerns when needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alison works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting the mix of techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Alison can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations, fit sessions around work or family life, and continue steady progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
