About Alison
BACP. 20 years' experience. Alison Fraser is a counsellor who works with adults and young people on stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career questions. She also supports people facing issues linked to neurodiversity, ADHD, body image, chronic illness, and ageing.
Alison uses a mix of practical talking therapies. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on understanding patterns, managing difficult feelings, and building useful coping skills.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in mental health services, roles supporting trauma and addictions, and counselling in schools and community settings. She has run a mental health charity and has worked in private practice with adults and young people.
In sessions she helps people notice what matters to them, make small shifts in behaviour, and practise new ways of responding to stress. Therapy can include talking, learning practical strategies, and reflecting on attachment and relationship patterns.

How Alison’s approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and communication, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. Decisions about methods and focus are reviewed together as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and family commitments. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and avoids travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
