Alan Morris

Alan Morris is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career questions, depression and big life changes. He is also experienced supporting people with isolation and loneliness. He approaches sessions in a straightforward way and aims to make talking about difficult things less overwhelming.

Alan uses plain language and listens carefully. He focuses on helping people make sense of events and relationships that have affected them. Conversations tend to be practical, aiming to identify coping steps that feel doable in everyday life.

His work draws on client-centred principles, which means he follows each person’s priorities and pace. He also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused ideas help keep sessions aimed at small, reachable goals.

Alan trained as a counsellor and holds NCPS, which is noted here as provided. He has worked with a wide range of concerns over more than a decade and has supported over 200 people through therapy and coaching combined.

People who choose Alan often want clear conversation and practical tools. He aims to create a space where someone can speak honestly and leave with actions to try between sessions. If a parent is reading on a phone, the first contact is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling that fits around family life.

To get started, readers complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and then book according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Alan draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused ideas in accessible ways. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities first and involves listening closely so people can make sense of what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and helps develop small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting clear, short-term goals and building on what already works for someone.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will explore a person’s needs, goals and preferences together and adjust methods as those needs change. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

The original biography did not list specific online or in-person formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between other commitments. It also makes it simpler to schedule a shorter session for a focused check-in or to choose audio-only contact when video is not convenient.
