I help busy professionals repair & protect their relationship, working mainly with people who are married or in a long-standing relationship that was once good but is now struggling. I offer sessions  both to individuals seeking to improve their relationship or marriage, & to couples (gay or straight)- now online or by phone only. I use an evidence-based, solution-focused approach & offer unrushed sessions of caring, confidential and practical help & support. I recently wrote a book aimed at helping couples in crisis; 5 Steps to lasting love: an evidence-based guide to protecting & repairing your relationship.

I have worked with people for over 40 years as a teacher, a coach and now as a  Human Givens therapist.  My aim is for each of my clients to leave me with a toolkit of skills that they can use for

After having had 27 years of experience offering emotional support in various areas of voluntary work, I decided to stop and retrain in the Human Givens approach.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

A broad range of experiences, both personal and professional, have enabled me to support numerous individuals in their recovery, from many forms of emotional distress.

Having trained in many other psychological approaches, when I came across the Human Givens approach in 2005, it resonated with me from day one as a highly effective way of helping people.

The Human Givens approach focuses on what people need in their lives to be emotionally healthy and on how these needs can be better met.

Have you been suffering for too long with feeling of anxiety, or re-occurring depression, perhaps a trauma or anger, maybe strong emotions or negative thinking that is stopping you from living life

I run face-to-face sessions in Yorkshire including in Leeds, York, Hull and Bridlington. I run online sessions wherever you are in the world. 

I have a deep understanding about mental health and wellbeing, and experience of working with people in tnany different situations in their lives. Clients feed back that I am calm, warm and approachable - that they feel accepted and comfortable being themselves. The approach aims to help people to overcome problems that might at first feel overwhelming, breaking down complex issues into practical, manageable steps. My goal is to build hope, motivation and a clear focus to achieve the positive changes that matter to you. 

Alison's aim is always to help clients take back control of their lives quickly and effectively.
