Alisanne Bell, Integrative Therapist
About Me
I grew up in a rural town in Scotland which taught me the power of community but also, the challenge to show up as our authentic selves.
With a background in education, I am passionate about learning and helping others discover and nurture their true selves, through developing skills of self-awareness to build loving, purposeful relationships with themselves and others.
Education
I studied at Greenwich University and I hold a Master of Science in Therapeutic Counselling (MSc) which is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I also studied at Strathclyde University achieving BEd (Hons) in Primary Education. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Experience
I am an integrative therapist, meaning that our work together will use a range of tools and approaches to best work for you. I have experience in engaging and supporting a diverse range of people, working across genders, cultures, socioeconomic, faith and non-faith backgrounds.
I have previously worked for a national mental health charity in east London specialising in NHS referrals and low-cost therapy. I have also volunteered for a mental health charity.
About Therapy
My approach is integrative meaning that I work flexibly, drawing on a range of tools and approaches to best suit you as an individual, with a strong emphasis on our relationship. I’m influenced by various theories, philosophies and modalities including: relational, psychodynamic, transpersonal, humanistic, behavioural.
My approach
I am here to work with you along a journey to explore your experiences, unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours by providing you with a safe space, free from judgement and discrimination. This will enable you to have a greater insight into who you are, with the confidence and the clarity to tackle issues facing you so that you are able to thrive.
A Journey
Clients have described me as genuine and caring, easy to talk to and a clear communicator.
My approach is warm and authentic, putting what’s best for you at the heart of our work together to create the positive impact you want to see. I am empathic and will build a connection with you as an individual so that you feel seen, heard and empowered. I will meet you where you are at, understanding you as a unique individual with your own life experiences and perspectives. I will offer you both high challenge and high support so that you will feel encouraged, strengthened and nurtured, even when we are exploring difficult – perhaps painful – issues together.
