Alison Thompson
Accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor specialising in working with Young Adults, Undergraduate and Postgraduate students
Welcome
I work from a private consulting room in Lower Parkstone, Poole, Dorset and I also work online. I provide a confidential and safe environment where we can think together about your problems and difficulties and how you are suffering. I will support you to gain a greater understanding of yourself and through this the potential for hope and change can emerge. I am easily reached from Ashley Cross, Bournemouth, Branksome, Canford Cliffs, Hamworthy, Lilliput, Oakdale, Parkstone, Penn Hill, Poole Town, Sandbanks & Westbourne.
We will also consider short term coping mechanisms and building resilience alongside identifying the origins of the difficulties and suffering. Exploring your experiences can help you gain more control of your life and work and develop a deeper and richer understanding of the way in which you relate to yourself and others.
