About Alison

Alison Faraday is a therapist who focuses on relationships in all their forms, supporting people who are struggling with connections to romantic partners, parents, siblings, children, friends, colleagues or even their relationship with themselves. She works with a wide range of relationship difficulties - from trouble setting boundaries and finding it hard to say no, to repeated patterns that leave someone feeling at fault or uneasy about their interactions.

Alison combines practical guidance with compassionate support to help clients understand their situation and explore steps that can make life feel better. She aims to help people identify patterns, build clearer communication, and develop tools for improved emotional well-being. Seeking change can take courage, and Alison positions herself as a steady partner in that process - offering encouragement, exploration and practical strategies to empower each person she works with.

She has over 3 years of professional experience and is able to practise in the United Kingdom and internationally. Alison holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Approaches for Relationship Work Online

Alison draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds shape current relationships. This approach helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance, and is useful for addressing abandonment, attachment issues, and difficulties in intimate relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the person at the heart of the process. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for growth, supporting issues such as low self-esteem, life changes and grief.

Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may be used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, depression and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Alison will discuss options, listen to personal goals and preferences, and together they will shape a plan that fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow people to access registered professionals from different locations and at times that suit them. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, balance therapy with other commitments, and access the support needed to work through relationship and personal concerns.
