About Allan
Allan Mathieson is a psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in an integrative, person-centred way so clients set the pace and the agenda. Allan aims to help people who feel stuck after life changes, or who are dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.
Allan keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the individual. He listens without judgement and helps people identify small, practical steps to feel better. He does not insist on homework, but can suggest tasks or readings if they will help between sessions.
His work often covers relationship and family concerns, and he supports people facing issues such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, and isolation. He also has experience with neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and with process addictions and panic attacks.
Allan mixes approaches to meet each person's needs. He draws on attachment ideas, psychodynamic thinking, solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioural tools where they fit the situation. The relationship between counsellor and client is central to his style.
With four years of experience, Allan takes time outside sessions to consider how best to help people progress. He practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. He accepts international clients and is a BACP member, which reflects the professional standards he follows.
Approach-led online therapy that adapts to your needs
Allan often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand their relational patterns and how past connections shape present reactions. This can be useful for people who struggle with trust, emotional distance or repeated relationship problems.He also works from a client-centred position that focuses on the person in front of him. That means sessions are guided by the client's concerns, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help the person make sense of their feelings.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when thinking patterns or behaviours are causing distress. These tools help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to reduce anxiety and improve coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allan collaborates with each person to decide which ideas and methods fit their goals and preferences. This is reviewed over time so the approach can change as progress is made.
