Alison | Imago Relationship/Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist
Counselling Formby - Liverpool
Hi, I'm Alison, a trained Transactional Analysis psychotherapist and Imago Relationship Therapist. I welcome both individuals and couples for counselling in my practice in Formby near Liverpool in the UK.Get the life you want through individual counselling! Difficulties in childhood haunted me as an adult. Therapy gave me inner-strength, a fresh new outlook and inspired me to become a psychotherapist. It is never too late to rewrite your life story. I will help you get the life you really want to live through individual Transactional Analysis psychotherapy.
Imago Couples Therapy
Are you always arguing with your other half? Do you long to feel the romance you felt back in the beginning when you first met? Imago couples therapy really works!
Contact me to arrange your first Imago couples therapy session that will change the direction of your relationship from heading to break-up to building a bridge between the two of you. I will help you learn a new way to communicate with each other - it's called the Imago Dialogue technique, first developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt in the 1980's.
Hendrix and LaKelly Hunt's theory behind Imago couples therapy is that many people enter into what they call "The Unconscious Marriage" - a marriage that includes all of the hidden desires and automatic behaviours that are left over from childhood and that inexorably lead couples into conflict."
Your partner is not a mind-reader! Come for Imago couples therapy with me and learn how to feel heard by your partner, as well as how to really listen to your partner, so they too feel heard by you! Give your relationship another chance to thrive and feel the love between you once again.
If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message.

Online therapy
Imago couples therapy works just as well online as it does face to face! All you need is two upright dining chairs, a smartphone or laptop, and the desire to recommit to each other and to do the work! Leave the rest to me, your Imago Relationship Therapist, and I will help you both every step of the way.I use the online Zoom or Microsoft Teams platforms and will send you a link to join me online for your session, wherever you are either in the UK or the rest of the world. You are welcomed into the global Imago community.
