About Alison
Alison "Ali" Pember offers a warm, non-judgemental space for people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She aims to help clients understand why they feel as they do and to find practical steps forward. Her approach suits people seeking clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more confidence in everyday life.
Ali works in a way that blends talking and body-focused methods. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to notice and name difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She also brings in mindfulness and somatic techniques to help people feel calmer in their bodies. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports people with parenting pressures, relationship difficulties, grief, workplace strain and questions about life purpose.
Additional focuses include attachment issues, fertility and family of origin matters. Clients can expect sessions that look at patterns of feeling and behaviour and try small, practical changes. Ali balances exploring the causes of a problem with setting doable goals.
She sometimes uses breathing and body-awareness exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. Alison has a BACP credential and has practised for more than 13 years in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Online support
How Ali blends therapy methods online
Alison often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients notice and name difficult feelings and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT-style work is useful for people wanting clearer emotional understanding and improved responses in stressful moments.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which means listening without judgement and following the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. Mindfulness Therapy appears in sessions as simple attention and breath practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their concerns, goals and preferences and then try methods that feel most helpful. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what doesn’t, so clients help shape the direction of the work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people read facial cues and use guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflections between sessions or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to access therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
