Alison Kinrade

Counselor

“An experienced and compassionate counsellor offering evening, early morning and weekend appointments”

About Me

Life can bring unexpected challenges, and finding time for yourself is crucial. As an experienced and compassionate counsellor, I offer flexible evening, early morning, and weekend appointments to support your well-being. We can explore your concerns together, creating a confidential space where you feel truly heard. My aim is to help you gain clarity and discover practical ways to move forward, fitting therapy into your busy life.

Approach

Flexible scheduling helps me hold a steady, practical rhythm so we can focus on what matters when it suits you. In sessions I listen closely, gently tracking patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships, and we try small, manageable experiments or coping steps between meetings to test what helps. I work at a pace set by you, balancing emotional safety with clear, practical tools that support change around anxiety, loss, relationship strain or behaviour concerns. This approach often suits people juggling responsibilities who want grounded, steady progress.
