Alan Morris, NCPS

Alan Morris is a qualified counsellor who has supported more than 200 people over the course of ten years. He combines a collaborative, solution-focused approach with practical coaching to help clients move from feeling stuck to making choices that improve daily life. He holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential that signals formal training and commitment to ongoing practice.

Alan offers both counselling and life and work coaching, providing a calm, attentive space to explore whatever is causing distress. He listens for patterns in events and relationships, helps clients make sense of what has happened, and draws on a broad set of skills to teach coping mechanisms and problem-solving strategies tailored to each person.

Alan recognises that reaching out for counselling is a difficult and courageous step. He treats that trust with respect and works diligently to ensure clients feel their decision to seek support has been worthwhile. Whether addressing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, career concerns, or significant life changes, he aims to partner with clients to find realistic, sustainable ways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alan uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where the client's own goals and values guide the work; this approach supports people coping with relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of isolation. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviours that get in the way of daily functioning. In many sessions he applies solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and build momentum toward realistic changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alan takes a collaborative stance. He will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. Alan provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to select the format that feels most comfortable and accessible. This range of options helps maintain continuity of care and makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
