Allan Mathieson, BACP

Allan Mathieson is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges as well as life changes and self-esteem concerns. He works with a wide range of presenting problems including attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, communication difficulties, eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, process addictions, social anxiety, somatization, and issues common to young adults. Allan combines a person-centred stance with an integrative toolkit so that each session can be adapted to the client’s immediate needs and goals.

His practice is informed by multiple clinical approaches - including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy - which he draws on to tailor interventions for each individual. Sessions are client-led so that people remain in control of themes and pace, and the therapeutic relationship is given priority; Allan aims to bring a genuine, relaxed and non-judgemental presence to the work so clients can feel at ease and supported.

Allan does not require formal homework but is willing to suggest tasks or readings between sessions when these would support progress. He invests time outside of sessions researching and reflecting on ways to help clients enact positive change. He has particular experience working with neurodiverse clients and with issues that are sometimes under-supported, including men’s concerns.

Allan is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He provides therapy in English and works with international clients. He is not currently accepting new clients.
