About Alan

Alan Morris is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, career issues and depression. He works with people facing big life changes and helps them find practical ways to cope. Alan uses straightforward language and a calm manner to help people feel heard and make choices that improve daily life.

Alan draws on client-centred ways of working, which means he listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of him. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable steps forward. These approaches are combined to suit each person rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all package.

With 11 years of experience and the NCPS credential, Alan has supported people through issues such as attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and problems linked to sexual health and relationships. He also works with matters like isolation, infidelity, process addictions, and questioning sexuality.

Alan aims to make sessions practical and understandable. He listens for the small changes that can make a difference and helps people build coping strategies they can use between meetings. The tone is direct but compassionate, and the focus is on usable steps rather than jargon.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Alan's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and decide which issues to address first. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical ways to test and change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, achievable goals and building on what already works; it suits people who want clear steps and quicker progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alan discusses options with each person and chooses methods together based on the individual's needs, goals and preferences. That way the plan reflects what matters to the person rather than a fixed protocol.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when life is hectic. Other practical benefits include being able to use phone or lower-bandwidth options for shorter conversations, and the chance to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. The therapist will help agree a format and rhythm that fit with daily life.
