More about Alana

- BACP
I work with young adults who know something isn't right but can't quite name it. They may be managing fine on the surface, holding down jobs, maintaining relationships, and still feel a persistent sense of being stuck, disconnected, or quietly unhappy. That contradiction is usually where we start.
My approach is trauma-informed and relationally focused, drawing on attachment theory and the development of the self. I work to help clients build a clearer, more grounded sense of who they are, underneath the adaptations they've built to get by.
I have five years of experience across the charity sector, the NHS, and private practice. If you've been feeling stuck for a while and aren't sure why, I'd be glad to work with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
