About Alison Malone
About me
My name is Alison and I have an accredited BACP (Hons) Counselling degree from the University of East London. I am an Integrative practitioner which means I am trained in different theoretical approaches, which I can tailor to your specific needs. The approaches that inform most of my work are Person-centred, Existentialism, CBT and Psychodynamic. I work to the BACP ethical framework for the counselling professions and am continually enhancing my knowledge through continued personal and professional development. I have a relaxed approach and encourage you to be yourself. I understand that talking to a stranger is a daunting prospect, but through my caring, gentle, and warm approach, with a hint of good humour, you will find that it is possible to share your experiences and start to make sense of your feelings.
Welcome to Alison Malone Counselling services
Individual Therapy Sessions...
I offer personalised individual therapy sessions tailored to your unique needs in a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I am here to help you navigate your challenges and promote personal growth. I work face-to-face from a therapeutic practice in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire.
Pregnancy, Pregnancy loss, Fertility, Early years parenting and related issues...
I have extensive experience working specifically with clients who are experiencing difficulties connected with pregnancy, pregnancy loss, fertility treatments, infertility, involuntary childlessness and early years parenting and related issues. Through this work I have had many hours of training which is supplementary to my counselling degree which includes Trauma, IVF, Polycystic ovary syndrome, Miscarriage, Baby loss and the work of SANDS, Grief and Bereavement and Birth trauma.
For those who have or are experiencing any of these difficulties I understand how isolating and intolerabe they can be and the pressures subsequently placed on relationships. With my support you will be able to have a safe and non-judgmetal space for exploration of your feelings and emotions.
The first session
I offer a free initial 20-minute consultation via zoom or telephone as it is important that you find the right counsellor for you and that we are comfortable with each other. We will explore what it is that has brought you to counselling, what you hope to achieve and how we can address this in our work together. Each session is 50 minutes and are offered on the same day and time each week, Sessions are offered initially on a six-week basis and can be extended by mutual agreement. My fees are £60 per counselling hour, which is 50 minutes. Concessions are available on request.
