Alison (she/her) is an Edinburgh-based Art Psychotherapist who has supported adults, young people, and children since qualifying in 2021. She has worked across Scotland with charities and in private practice, gaining experience with young people and families involved in adoption and fostering, adults with learning disabilities, individuals experiencing isolation, and people affected by trauma.

Alison has a particular interest in supporting people with additional support needs. She believes art therapy provides an accessible and creative way to express thoughts and emotions when words are difficult to find. She is also passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ communities and has facilitated art therapy groups in Edinburgh that encourage identity exploration, connection, and shared experiences.

Her approach is client-led, recognising that every therapeutic journey is unique. Alison aims to create a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore present challenges, process past experiences, deepen self-understanding, and work towards meaningful personal goals.

Committed to reflective practice, Alison values continual learning and welcomes feedback to strengthen her work. She also believes community connections are vital to wellbeing and maintains relationships with local charities and organisations, helping clients access wider support networks while building confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
