About Allison
Allison Abaza is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship struggles. She starts by listening and helping each person make sense of what they are going through. Her style is practical and down to earth, aimed at making small changes that add up over time.
She describes clients as the experts on their own lives and uses that perspective to guide sessions. Allison draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity. Allison blends psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and affect current behaviour. Sessions often involve noticing recurring themes in relationships and experimenting with new ways of relating.
Conversations are meant to be straightforward and focused on useful next steps. She holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Allison has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and offers support in English.
Practical concerns such as caregiving stress, life changes, panic symptoms and trauma are part of her work. She also helps with issues like communication problems, guilt or feelings of isolation. People can expect calm, attentive listening and collaborative problem solving.

Approaches Allison lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice and ride out difficult feelings without acting on them. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, panic symptoms and managing mood shifts. Psychodynamic ideas are drawn on to spot repeated patterns from the past that affect current relationships and choices, helping people try different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Allison works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and she checks in regularly to adapt the plan as things change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging lets people write in between sessions. These formats give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, while allowing the same collaborative, reflective work as face-to-face counselling.
