Allison Abaza, BACP

Allison Abaza is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional experience and accreditation from the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes professional membership in the UK. She works from a strengths oriented perspective, holding the view that each person is the expert of their own story and brings resources that can support change.

Allison places emphasis on collaboration and respectful listening, helping people explore their challenges at a pace that feels manageable. She recognises that taking the first step to begin therapy requires courage and offers an encouraging, steady presence for those starting that process.

Her approach focuses on identifying and building on existing strengths to address difficult moments and support ongoing personal growth. Allison values working alongside clients as they navigate change, and supports them in developing practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Allison Abaza draws on several established therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of exploration and the therapist reflects and supports self discovery - it is useful for building self awareness and addressing life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and bodily experiences with gentle attention, helping reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation when facing stress or anxiety. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns in relationships and past experiences to uncover how they influence current feelings and behaviours, offering insight into longer standing difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Allison works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods fit best with a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Allison is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access therapy from home, manage appointments around daily life, and maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change.
