Alison Faraday, BACP

Alison Faraday helps people who are struggling with relationships and the stress they cause. She works with concerns like low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, parenting strain and issues around intimacy. Alison also supports people facing life changes, career decisions, sleep or eating difficulties, and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse.

She uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches in sessions. Conversations aim to make patterns clearer and to find small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person's needs and comfort.

Alison draws on ideas from attachment-based work and client-centred practice to explore how early connections shape present relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused steps to set achievable goals.

With three years of professional experience she practices in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Her credential is BACP, which appears as a professional registration in her biography.

Alison offers practical support for people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and the fallout of separation or infidelity. She aims to help people feel more understood and to build clearer ways forward in everyday life.

How Alison's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at the ways early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to talk through those patterns and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental conversation that helps people feel heard and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to agree what to focus on and which methods to try. That choice can shift as progress is made and new issues arise.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward for people in different locations to work together with registered or accredited professionals and to continue therapy when routines change.
