About Alison

Alison "Ali" Pember is a dual-trained therapist and coach with 13 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma, grief, and a wide range of other challenges. She creates a caring, non-judgemental space where people can explore both why they feel as they do and how to make practical, meaningful changes in their lives.

Her practice draws on mind-body techniques including EFT Tapping, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and breathwork to help regulate emotions, identify and shift limiting patterns, and process difficult experiences. Alongside these methods she uses coaching skills to set goals, build confidence, and support forward momentum in areas such as career, parenting, self-esteem, and life purpose.

Alison works with individuals and families facing issues from postpartum and midlife transitions to workplace stress and compassion fatigue. She is accredited with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and integrates therapeutic and practical tools to help people find greater clarity, calm, confidence, and contentment.

Mind-body and emotion-focused approaches for online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a short description of a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and reorganising emotional responses in relationships and personal patterns. It can help people who are struggling with attachment issues, relationship conflict, or persistent emotional blocks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills so clients can notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed - this is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and building emotional regulation. Somatic Therapy connects bodily sensations with emotional experience, using gentle body-centered techniques to support processing of trauma, tension, and long-held stress patterns.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alison "Ali" Pember works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods or combination of methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals often blend techniques to create a personalised plan that evolves as therapy progresses.



Online therapy offers practical benefits for people managing busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. Video calls and phone sessions provide face-to-face connection without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging can offer flexibility for check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into everyday life and to access experienced therapists from different locations within the United Kingdom.
