LincsPCA                                   Person-centred Counselling & Psychotherapy



With the exception of 'Walk n Talk', which is face-to-face, I am currently working by

telephone or a secure medical online video only.

 Please use the 'How can I help?' or 'Arrange to talk' buttons, or call 07395 297181 to arrange a telephone call or secure online meeting.

Person-centred counselling is proven to work in most areas of life problems.

I can also draw on my training in trauma and phobias, as well my understanding of other ways of working such as as inner child.

  Here are just a few issues I can help you with...


Grief and loss - Your grief might be from the bereavement of a loved one, a friend or really valued animal companion.  It could be from the break-up of a relationship, or the loss of a long held and valued job.  All of these can cause the pain to be just too much, or make it seem impossible to face the future.


Anxiety and stress  - maybe you know something is not right and are struggling to cope - perhaps resulting in panic attacks - but you don't know what with, or why, and need to work it out and get back control.


Life-changing or life-limiting circumstances - perhaps a health or medical condition are forcing a major change in your life, or are you a carer for someone who is facing these challenges.


Workplace stress - Issues at work, professional relationships or workload causing problems?  Are you struggling to understand the impact of workplace changes - remote working perhaps - and struggling to see a way forward?


Self esteem & Relationship - I only work with individuals, not couples, but have supported many to work out the issues causing upset or friction, even anxiety and panic attacks, in their life because of present or even past relationships.


Painful or troubling memories - are you avoiding thinking about an event or incident in your past because it is just too painful to think about?  Is it affecting how you live your life now?


Traumatic Experience -have you experienced a traumatic event? It could be an accident, an assault or are you a survivor of domestic abuse?  It could be complications following a routine medical procedure, or just something that left you really emotionally bruised – recently or in your past - but it still haunts you now.


PTSD or cPTSD - Has an experience left you really struggling with the painful memories or are you  experiencing nightmares of a traumatic event?  Is just normal day-today living full of difficulties because of flashbacks and reactions being triggered out of your control? 



I have supported my clients to overcome all of these - and more.


Hi, I am Alan

My Training

I first trained in Person-centred Counselling and then Rewind Technique psychotherapy when I witnessed its effectiveness.

  As a qualified and experienced counsellor/psychothrapist I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society.

I have also studied Ecotherapy and 'Walk & Talk' therapy utilising the additional benefits of gentle exercise and fresh air in nature..

I am also accredited in online and telephone counselling skills.

I am also trained in Single Session Therapy. 


How I work

 Having had a background in training student counsellors I am able to bring a wider understanding of counselling and psychotherapy theory to our work.  Whilst I am able to draw on my understanding of Inner Child work and the way our minds and body respond to trauma to help you understand the issues affecting you but will always do so in a way that remains person-centred with you at the centre of our work. 

This means that we will work together to better understand the issues troubling you and, together, we will then find your best solution for them.

For trauma, PTSD & cPTSD we will use the proven Rewind Therapy supported within the person-centred approach - my clients find this helps address the wider issues related to the traumatic event. 

 For a specific issue that you are already aware of and need help in finding a way forward we could use Single Session Therapy (SST).  SST takes a more solution focused approach in which we will really focus on a single topic that is troubling you in order to try and identify a way forward in just a single session - but still with the option of further appointments if you wish.


As a Professionally Accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) I comply with their code of ethics.

I work with individuals aged 18 and over.
