Alison Bubbins, BACP

Alison Bubbins works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship worries. She also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career strain and the practical impact of life changes. Alison is open to LGBT issues, ADHD, bipolar and depression concerns, and helps with intimacy, parenting and family-related problems.

Alison describes her style as down-to-earth and authentic. She keeps sessions direct and human. She aims to create a space where people can be themselves without judgement or pressure.

Her practice is integrative. Alison blends person-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural approaches and broader psychotherapy techniques. That mix allows her to respond to what each person brings, rather than using one fixed method.

Sessions are collaborative - she works with people rather than doing things to them. Alison says she will meet clients where they are and uses humour when it helps. The aim is practical change alongside feeling genuinely seen and accepted.

Alison holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. She has three years' experience and works in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How Alison tailors therapeutic approaches for online work

Alison uses person-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and wider psychotherapy methods. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and helping someone find their own answers; it suits people who need a steady, non-directive space to talk. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offer practical steps for managing anxiety, sleep issues and mood problems. The broader psychotherapy elements help when patterns from the past, attachment or complex emotional issues are involved.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Alison will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. That collaborative conversation continues as therapy progresses so things can change if another way seems better.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy lives and reducing travel time. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule around work, childcare or appointments and can allow shorter check-ins when needed.
