HOUSE OF RESTORATION COUNSELLING

Journeying with you towards healing and wholeness

Why Counselling

Why Counselling?

Counselling offers a safe space for you to explore, understand and overcome the difficulties you are experiencing in life. Whether you want to focus on past traumas or current struggles, I can help you make sense of where you are at and support you in your journey towards wholeness. I will not judge or direct you; I will offer empathy and understanding. I will walk with you through the darkness, empowering you to find hope and light again.

I am a qualified integrative therapist. This means I have training in different counselling approaches and theoretical models, and can adapt my practice to suit you. I draw mainly from humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches.

I am also qualified in couple/relationship therapy. For those seeking couples counselling, I offer a place to unravel conflicts, habits and long term relational difficulties, and tools to build in a new way for the future.

The client is always at the heart of the process at House of Restoration Counselling. Each couple or individual's experience of counselling will be unique, built on the relationship between the client and counsellor.

About Me

Alison Taylor
About me

I love people. All kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds, each one unique, fascinating, and with so much to give. But sometimes the brokenness of the world puts an individual's light out. Counselling can help you discover yours again.

I have experience of helping people through many different struggles. My areas of special interest are trauma, particularly childhood abuse, and sexuality, sex and relationship counselling.

My motivation to help you on your journey towards healing and wholeness comes from my Christian faith. More about my faith

Testimonials

I cannot recommend Alison at House of Restoration highly enough! She is incredibly perceptive, clear and professional in her approach and practices high quality, evidence based counselling while maintaining a kindness and gentleness in her approach. I have no doubt it will have have long lasting positive effects on my wellbeing and she was able to work through subjects which previous counsellors had failed to manage.

Please drop me an email or give me a call if you would like to book a session.

If you prefer to begin with an initial zoom call, please let me know, and I can schedule a call of about 20 minutes, free of charge, to talk through briefly what you want from therapy and to ensure we both feel happy to work together.

Following this we will schedule weekly sessions to suit your requirements. For those not based in Cambridge, I offer a limited number of online sessions. I am happy to accommodate varying times if your work schedule does not allow you to attend at the same time each week. Please note I do not currently work evenings.
