About Alan
Alan Morris is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career concerns, depression and big life changes. He uses practical talking therapy to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. Alan brings 11 years of experience and an NCPS credential to his practice in the United Kingdom.
In sessions he listens first and then helps people make sense of what has happened. He commonly uses client-centred work to follow each person’s pace, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused steps to set short-term goals. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people identify small, workable changes.
Alan has supported people with attachment difficulties, issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, and those coping with isolation or loneliness. He also helps with concerns such as infidelity, obsessions and compulsions, process addictions, post-traumatic stress, sexual difficulties, and men’s issues. He frames these topics in plain language and breaks them into manageable parts.
His background includes around 11 years working directly with clients and using a blend of counselling and coaching approaches. Alan says he values the courage it takes to start therapy and focuses on building trust over time. He aims to help people feel clearer about their choices and better able to cope day to day.
People who want to begin can expect a calm, conversational approach that balances listening with practical steps. Alan encourages clients to set realistic aims and to review progress as therapy continues.
How his approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns. The therapist offers empathic, non-judgemental listening and helps clients find their own solutions, which works well for emotional and relational issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour by teaching practical ways to change thinking patterns and try new behaviours.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting short-term goals and building on small changes. It is useful when someone wants clearer steps to move forward at work or in personal life.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. Alan will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit a person’s goals and preferences. He aims to balance listening with practical tasks so the work stays relevant to the client’s life.
