Alison Moore, BACP

Alison Moore is a counsellor who frames emotion as information. She invites people to notice what their feelings might be trying to say. Her approach is practical and gentle, aimed at making tough days feel more manageable. Alison uses a blend of therapeutic methods to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and attachment-focused work. This allows her to help with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and stress in different ways. She has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration. Alison spends sessions listening carefully and asking questions that help people make sense of their experience. She keeps language simple and focuses on realistic steps that can be practised between meetings. Sessions often look at patterns that maintain stress or low mood. Alison supports people to notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioural experiments, and work with difficult emotions rather than avoiding them. Attachment themes and past losses are explored when relevant. Practical concerns such as workplace stress, panic attacks, ADHD-related difficulties, chronic illness and issues around self-worth are within her focus. People are encouraged to set clear goals and to review progress together. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

How Alison adapts therapy approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings and to take action aligned with their values. It can help when anxiety, depression or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small practical experiments, which can reduce panic and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to steady strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alison will work collaboratively to see which methods fit the individual’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques in early sessions and agreeing a plan together. The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with regular sessions while managing health, work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use ACT, CBT and mindfulness, commonly adapt worksheets, behavioural experiments and mindful practices to an online setting so progress can continue between meetings.
