About Alan
Alan aims for simple, practical conversations. He listens first, to understand what matters to each person. Sessions are used to make sense of events and habits that are getting in the way. He helps people spot small changes that can make daily life easier.
His style draws on client-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural work and solution-focused methods. That means the conversation is shaped around the person, with an eye for unhelpful thinking patterns and quick practical steps to try. Alan also uses coaching-style conversations when helpful for work and life goals.
Over more than a decade he has helped people develop coping skills and clearer routines. He has worked with a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, trauma responses, sexuality and relationship diversity. He also supports people dealing with isolation, addiction-related behaviours and sexual harm.
Alan describes counselling as a courageous step and treats reaching out as something to be respected. If someone chooses to begin, he aims to work collaboratively so they can see whether the process is helping and decide next steps together.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Alan uses client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work to guide sessions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises understanding the person's perspective and following their pace, which helps people feel heard and choose their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and everyday habits, offering practical exercises to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what works already, to build momentum quickly.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alan works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs and goals. He will discuss options and adjust the focus as the work progresses so the sessions remain useful and relevant.
Practical benefits of online work include making sessions easier to fit around daily life and reducing travel time. Some formats make shorter check-ins straightforward and can suit people needing concise support around work breaks or busy days. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered here, so please confirm the current online options before booking.
