Alison McGuigan

Integrative Counsellor

Hello. My name is Alison.

Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, depression or unhappiness in aspects of your life? Maybe you are seeking support in managing emotional distress, a difficult situation or the need to explore past or present experiences?

My aim is to provide you with a confidential, safe space to explore what is impacting your daily life. I will give you the time to actively listen to you and explore the challenges you currently face and then, together, work towards your goals and to the way of being that you wish for.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor, which means that I can draw on different techniques to support you, based on your own unique and individual needs in the therapy room.

I am also qualified to Level 6 in Imagery Rescripting for Childhood Trauma and looking to support people who want to address hurtful, abusive, or negative events from childhood in a safe and dynamic way.

My approach to working with someone comes from a trauma informed approach, which means that I endeavour to meet the needs of each client sensitively, empathically, with compassion, without judgment, and using a pace to suit each client.

I volunteer for a local Counselling Service each week, working with adults as well as running my private practice.

My previous roles have included Youth and Community Work, working with children and families, Community projects, delivering supportive parenting programmes and facilitating post-natal depression groups.
