Alison Goolnik

Alison is an integrative adult psychotherapist and is in the process of obtaining UKCP accreditation. She has many years of experience working with adults and children. Her approach is to work collaboratively to help the client make sense of how they are feeling and building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship is at the core of her work as she believes that it is this relationship that helps to facilitate change. Alison is passionate about helping to improve the mental health of young adults, to strengthen their emotional well-being and sense of self-worth by using different therapeutic approaches, tools and coping strategies.

As well as currently having her own private practice, Alison provides counselling to young adults at The Mix, a support service for under 25s and has previously worked as a counsellor with the charity Place2Be, as an honorary psychotherapist at Guy’s Hospital providing cognitive analytic therapy, as a counsellor to students at a further education college and on helplines.
