About Alan

Alan Morris works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, career concerns, depression and coping with life changes using a solution-focused way of working. He practises client-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and has 11 years' experience. Alan is registered with NCPS.

Alan speaks plain, directly and listens to what matters to the person in front of him. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps and coping strategies that can be used between meetings. He aims to help people make sense of events and relationships that have affected them, and to build clearer ways of responding day to day.

His background includes supporting people with attachment issues and loneliness, and with concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. He has also worked with post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, and people affected by sexual assault and abuse. Alan works with a range of sexual health and relationship topics, including infidelity, non-monogamous relationships and sexual dysfunction.

Alan draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to look at how thoughts and actions keep problems going, and on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. The client-centred stance means he listens first and then helps shape a plan together. This mix is used to tackle stress, addictions, self-harm tendencies and difficulties related to veterans and armed forces experiences.

Practical matters such as work stress, career decisions and coping with life transitions are also part of his practice. People who choose to work with him will be offered clear steps to try between sessions and a straightforward approach to reviewing progress.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on understanding the person's experience. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the client decide which changes to try next; it suits people who want a supportive, paced way to talk through their concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings and behaviour. It uses clear techniques and exercises that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful routines, or manage low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and building on what already works. It is useful for people who want to move quickly towards specific changes in work, relationships or day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to use. This makes it easier to try techniques that fit a person's life and to review progress regularly.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work or family commitments, reducing travel time and making shorter check-ins possible. If you are unsure which session types are offered, confirm the current options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
