About Allison

Allison Dyer works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. Allison also supports people who are struggling with life changes and low motivation.

She believes people bring strengths to their own healing and that taking the first step to ask for help matters. Her approach is client-centred, which means conversations are shaped around the person's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to help people make sense of what they are facing and find ways to cope day to day. Allison listens without judgement and helps people identify practical steps that feel manageable. She works with a wide range of concerns linked to family of origin issues, communication problems and challenges around control.

Additional areas she supports include caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, isolation and struggles with life purpose. She also addresses issues often raised by men and women such as social anxiety and self-love. In sessions Allison pays attention to how thoughts and feelings affect everyday life.

She helps people practise new ways of responding and build confidence over time. Conversations are paced to suit each person and focused on realistic goals. People meet Allison through online formats that suit their schedule.

She encourages a gradual start so people can feel comfortable and find a rhythm that works for them.

Sessions & fees

Working with a client-centred approach online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people name the issues that matter most. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, depression and building self-esteem by creating a trusting, non-judgemental space where people decide the pace and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a way forward that fits the individual. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more like an in-person session. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer typing or want brief check-ins during the week. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
