About Alison Preston

Alison Preston is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings six years of professional therapeutic experience to her work. She specialises in supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, and the challenges of grief and loss, and she treats every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Alison recognises that taking the first step to seek therapy often requires courage, and she values offering a space where someone outside of their situation can listen without judgement and show genuine interest in how they see, feel, and experience their life.

She frames therapy as a journey of change, helping people to notice and honour how they really feel while being "held" within a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Alison focuses on building a trusting relationship that allows clients to explore their emotions and coping strategies at a comfortable pace. She looks forward to meeting clients and supporting them as they begin or continue that journey.
