About Alison
Alison Dace is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and depression. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and meets each person without judgement. Alison speaks plainly and focuses on what someone needs now.
Alison has four years of professional experience working with people who are coping with difficult feelings and life events. She creates a calm space where clients can talk about painful memories, habits that feel out of control, or the strain of everyday worries.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on what will help between meetings. Her work often looks at patterns that link current struggles to family of origin issues and attachment concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment fears, codependency and blended family strain.
For those facing substance use or behavioural addictions she helps clients consider small changes and safer choices. Alison pays attention to relationship dynamics such as communication problems, commitment worries and control issues. She also works with people experiencing body image struggles, caregiving pressure or the emotional impact of aging.
Her approach is to listen first, then help set clear, realistic goals. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are discussed openly so therapy fits around life. People can expect a steady, down-to-earth style that focuses on steps they can try between sessions.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alison will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She adjusts the plan as you give feedback so the therapy fits your needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, while phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on practical changes and steady progress.
