Alison Willett 
Counselling & Psychotherapy

My core training and foundational values are humanistic and person-centred and I work in an integrative style. 

This means that you can come and talk through anything you choose, steering the use of the time. If this feels too difficult or you worry about what you might say, it is a fully supported space to help you. My practice is based on the principles of providing a therapeutic relationship, one characterised by empathy and positive acceptance without judgement. To this foundation I also bring understanding from research about effective therapy and so draw on theories and techniques which can best support your individual needs.

Your own unique lived experience affects how you perceive and make sense of the world and other people. My approach to therapy focuses on really understanding your experience. By cultivating a sense of awareness and authenticity, this approach can help you to uncover patterns, clarify your values, and develop greater self-understanding. This can ultimately empower you to make meaningful changes in your life, including developing healthier ways of relating to yourself and others​.

If you would like to find out more about my approach, I am happy to talk about it with you when we meet.
