Alison "Ali" Pember, BACP

Alison "Ali" Pember is a dual-trained therapist and coach with 13 years of clinical experience. She combines talking therapy and coaching skills to help people explore why they feel as they do and to identify practical steps for change. Her background includes membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional affiliation and training.

Her practice draws on mind-body methods such as EFT tapping, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and breathwork to support emotional regulation, uncover and shift limiting beliefs, and break unhelpful patterns. These techniques are woven together with established therapeutic models including client-centered work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness therapy, solution-focused approaches, somatic therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.

Alison works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and compassion fatigue, ADHD, career matters, anger, and coping with life transitions. She also attends to related areas such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, communication problems, fertility and pregnancy-related issues, postpartum depression, feelings of guilt or shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.

Her approach is grounded in creating a nonjudgmental, attentive space where people can find greater clarity, confidence, calm, and a renewed sense of direction. She integrates practical, solution-focused work with attention to the body and emotions, helping individuals both understand underlying patterns and take intentional steps toward meaningful change.
