Alison Broughton
Hello, I'm Alison,
As a professionally qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, acknowledging what is or has happened for you and the impact on you is at the forefront.
I work with you to help you recognise and understand the effects of your individual circumstances and help you to process, recover, manage and heal.
My clients are individuals over 18 years of age, and I welcome working with a diverse range of clients including LGBTQ+

Nature Therapy
I specialise in nature therapy. This is where I work with you in a woodland setting or country park space. This form of therapy is very close to my heart.
The positive benefits to my clients emotional health and well-being are significant. Nature therapy is underpinned by a wealth of scientific research which provides evidence of substantial physical and mental health benefits.
Working with movement and re-connecting your mind and body helps you to increase your self-awareness and deepen your self-understanding. My clients find that nature therapy naturally brings them clarity and therefore peace of mind.
1:1 Private Counselling
I provide face-to-face counselling at my private practice in Stoney Stanton, near Hinckley.
I also provide counselling online via Zoom - UK wide.
The focus of all my counselling work is predominantly:
Bereavement, Loss, Anxiety in all its forms, Self-Concept (how you view yourself & the relationship you have with yourself). I also have experience of working with trauma, BPD, EUBPD and sexual abuse.
Natural Mindfulness Therapy
There are times when your feelings are too difficult to convey using words. In this case I am trained to draw upon other therapeutic approaches such as natural mindfulness, grounding techniques and creative working. This is tremendously effective for people who find talking about themselves uncomfortable.
BLAST Technique Therapy for PTSD and Trauma
As a qualified Blast technique practitioner, I work sensitively with you to resolve and heal trauma using what is known as bilateral stimulation.
Neuroscience research shows that structures in the right side/hemisphere of the brain are overactive and acting as if there is an immediate threat in sufferers of PTSD and trauma.
The BLAST Technique® utilises precise bi-lateral movements with a light pen (which helps the memory access the left side/hemisphere of the brain) and specific suggestions to you, which helps reprocess the traumatic event so you will understand what happened and can remember, but it will no longer have any physical or emotional response.

To ease any worries you may have, and to see how comfortable you feel talking to me, I offer a free 15 minute enquiry session.
