Alison Baxter, NCPS

Alison Baxter is a counsellor who helps people feeling stuck and uncertain about their next step. She offers both short-term counselling and longer-term therapy, and aims to help clients find more clarity and relief from ongoing stress and worry.

Alison uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centred work to create a respectful, listening space. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going.

Her background includes four years working with people facing anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She has a focus on trauma and abuse survivors and supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns. Alison also works with issues such as addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain and career stress.

Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also helps people coping with divorce, separation and family conflict. Her approach aims to be practical and grounded, with attention to personal history and current patterns.

Alison is registered with NCPS, which is shown as NCPS. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you are unsure whether her approach fits your needs, you can use the site's Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule an initial appointment.

She encourages people to bring questions about what they want from therapy and to set goals together in the early sessions.

How Alison's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current relationships. It helps people who feel stuck in repeating the same relationship problems or who struggle with fear of abandonment.

Client-centred therapy centres on being heard and understood. Sessions give space for people to talk through difficult feelings while the counsellor follows their lead to build insight and self-acceptance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Alison will work with the person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the approach as therapy progresses in collaboration with the client.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care while managing everyday commitments.
