Meet the Team
Allison Withers
I am a counsellor passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges.
I’ve worked with adults, couples, and young people in charities and schools, including services for mental health, domestic abuse, and addiction.
These experiences have shaped my belief that everyone deserves a safe, non-judgemental space to be heard.
My approach is person-centred at its core, but I also draw on other methods so that therapy is tailored to each individual or couple I work with.
I believe counselling is about walking alongside you — offering support, empathy, and space to explore what matters most — so that you can find strength, clarity, and the opportunity to flourish.
