About Me

I am Alison, a Clinical Psychologist and Psychology Practitioner working in central Winchester. I work both face-to-face and online, and I have over 30 years of experience in working with adults.

My training in Clinical Psychology is geared towards understanding and treating the psychological challenges a person may face across their lifespan. Emotional conflicts and stress affect our thinking and behaviour, which can increase problems over time.

My focus is to help you to understand your feelings better, evaluate the patterns in your relationships, build your resilience and over time plan for change.

I work within a psychodynamic therapy approach, with the emphasis on building a relationship with you as the client. Understanding your experiences in childhood can be a key factor in recovering from anxiety and depression. This process unfolds in a supportive therapeutic relationship, that can help you resolve your deep-seated emotional issues.

Psychotherapy can provide a person with hope and a pathway to plan steps for better self-esteem and new-found confidence.

I’m experienced in working with PTSD and can support you in current and past trauma recovery. Living with painful memories without professional help can increase a sense of isolation and feeling misunderstood by others. Beginning to talk with a therapist about events that have previously been unspoken can be both difficult and bring relief, as your new understanding helps you to evaluate the past.

I’m also trained to help if you have been diagnosed with a mental health condition and need further understanding and skills to cope with your challenges.
