Therapy Can Help You Feel Less Alone in What You Are Carrying
Many people come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Over time, they often describe feeling calmer, more self-aware and more able to navigate life with greater clarity and compassion towards themselves.
When I first met Allyson, I felt totally at ease with her — she made me feel so comfortable, and straight away I was able to share my situation. She helped me address things in my past and present which I had never thought about before, and gave me positive ways to deal with it, including my anxiety and wine intake. I have now learnt how to listen to myself and follow her professional advice, which has put me back in to such a happy place thanks to Allyson. I will continue to see her on a monthly basis as I feel she is good for my wellbeing. Thank you, Allyson — may it continue.
— Counselling client
I couldn't recommend Allyson any more highly. She has a kind and caring nature that means it is easy to talk with her. What makes her great is her ability to get me to really clarify my thoughts so that I can express how I am thinking and feeling. Thank you, Allyson, for all the help you have given me!
— Counselling client
Very easy to speak to about anything, always put me at ease and helped put things into perspective. Felt a lot lighter after speaking with her and more able to face life's challenges.

The counselling sessions have helped me untangle some of the emotions I have regarding my family.

Common questions
A few things people often ask before reaching out.
What happens after I send a message?
I'll read it personally and reply by email, usually within one working day. From there, we can arrange a short, free consultation if it feels helpful — or simply continue the conversation by email at your pace.
Do you offer in-person, online or telephone sessions?
All three. Face-to-face sessions take place locally in the East Yorkshire area, and online or telephone sessions are available across the UK. You're welcome to mention your preference in your message.
I'm not sure what I need yet — can I still get in touch?
Yes, absolutely. Many people reach out before they're sure therapy is right for them. You can use the form to ask a question, talk through what you're noticing, or simply say hello.
Is my message confidential?
Yes. Anything you share through the form, by email or in a consultation is treated with care and held in confidence, in line with our Privacy Policy.
