Welcome to a safe space to begin your journey toward change
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain where to turn?
You’re not alone. Many people worry whether their feelings are valid or fear judgement – and yet, taking that first step toward support can be the beginning of something truly transformative.
You’re in the right place.
How counselling can help you
Through a blend of approaches, I aim to help you foster self-awareness, regulate emotions, improve resilience, and develop stronger communication skills.
Many clients talk with me about:
Stress or Anxiety
Low Self-Esteem
Domestic or Relationship Challenges
Depression
Bereavement
These concerns are completely valid – and they’re best addressed with compassion, not judgement.
Alison Wenham, Psy.D
I’m Alison Wenham, an integrative counsellor with over 14 years of experience. I combine humanistic, CBT, psychodynamic and brief focused approaches to craft therapy that fits you – not the other way around. I’m warm, empathetic and professional, and together we will find clarity and create meaningful change.

Your path to change – at a glance
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy offers a supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behaviour in depth. Together, we can uncover the root causes of challenges you may be facing and work towards healthier, more fulfilling ways of living. This process is not about quick fixes – it’s about lasting change, built on greater self-understanding and emotional resilience.
Relationship Therapy
Relationships can bring great joy – but they can also be a source of stress, conflict, or sadness. In relationship therapy, we work collaboratively to improve communication, rebuild trust, and resolve misunderstandings. Whether you are seeking support as a couple or wanting to explore relationship issues individually, the focus will be on creating healthier, more supportive connections.
Anxiety, Stress, and Depression
Anxiety, stress, and depression can affect every aspect of life, making it hard to feel hopeful or in control. In therapy, we explore the triggers and patterns that contribute to these feelings, while building practical strategies to manage them more effectively. The goal is to help you feel calmer, more confident, and better equipped to face life’s challenges
Family Therapy
Families are complex systems where one person’s struggles can affect everyone. Family therapy provides a safe environment for open, respectful dialogue where all voices are heard. The aim is to strengthen bonds, improve understanding, and find solutions that help the whole family move forward together with greater harmony and empathy.
Child Therapy
Children sometimes struggle to express their feelings in words, which can make it hard for them to cope with challenges. In child therapy, I use age-appropriate approaches to help them feel safe and understood. This work supports emotional development, resilience, and healthier ways of managing difficult feelings – giving children the tools they need to thrive.
