About Alan
Alan uses a straightforward, person-centred style in sessions. He listens closely and helps people make sense of difficult events and feelings. Conversations aim to identify small, practical steps that can ease day-to-day life and build confidence to try new ways of coping.
Over 11 years he has worked with many clients and developed a calm, collaborative approach. His work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to match methods to what each person needs. Alan explains techniques simply and checks in to make sure they feel useful.
Sessions tend to focus on immediate concerns and on building coping strategies for the future. Alan encourages realistic goals and short-term plans alongside deeper reflection on how past experiences affect present choices. He aims to make sessions practical and respectful of each person’s pace.
Alan holds NCPS. He describes counselling as a brave step and treats it as an important partnership. Prospective clients are invited to start with a short matching process and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Alan uses talk therapy online and different approaches
Alan draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. This approach suits people who need a steady, non-directive space to make sense of their feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical experiments to change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what is already working and builds on small changes. This method is helpful when people want quick, goal-oriented work and clearer ideas for next steps.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person’s goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are available before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to focus on practical tools and follow-up between appointments.
