About Alison Hedger

Alison Hedger is an integrative therapist who combines several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's unique needs. They work from a person-centred foundation, inviting clients to bring the topics that matter most to each session while drawing on additional techniques as needed to support emotional exploration and practical change. Alison emphasises helping people reconnect with their emotions and untangle the stories that shape how they feel, so they can identify what they need and find a way forward.

Trained in humanistic integrative counselling over a six-year course, Alison has worked in a clinical setting since February 2019. They have supported adults across a wide range of presentations, from mild mental health struggles to experiences of crisis and suicidal feelings. Their practice includes substantial experience with anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties across friendships, family and romantic partnerships, and issues of identity and sense of self. Alison aims to help clients reclaim authenticity and make decisions that align with who they want to be.

Alison practices with compassion and a non-judgemental stance, allowing space and time for reflection and for exploring how insights from therapy can be applied in daily life. When helpful, they also explore past experiences to better understand present patterns. Their integrative toolkit is informed by client-centred therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and psychodynamic approaches. Alison holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) as a professional credential and offers open, collaborative support for people seeking clarity and positive change.

Could remote sessions suit your needs?

Online therapy can be an effective option for many common concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. For these kinds of issues, research and clinical experience indicate that remote sessions can offer outcomes comparable to traditional in-person work, allowing people to access consistent support without needing to attend a physical office.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life best - whether by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to maintain regular sessions alongside work, caregiving, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to these different formats to support emotional processing, problem solving, and improving relationships.

Therapists are trained to provide care in remote settings, and clients may switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many, online therapy provides a practical and effective route to steady emotional support and personal growth.
