About Allan
Allan Mathieson is a psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP with four years' experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are described as client-led and collaborative, with the person setting themes and goals for the work.
Allan uses an integrative approach that draws on person-centred ideas and other therapeutic models as needed. He places importance on the therapeutic relationship and aims to be calm and straightforward during sessions. He does not require homework but will offer tasks or readings when they could help between meetings.
He has worked with people experiencing attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, eating and food-related difficulties and family problems. Other focus areas include guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic and process addictions such as gambling or problematic porn and exercise patterns.
Allan describes practical, goal-focused work alongside deeper reflection. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused steps and attachment-based thinking when these suit a person 's needs. This means sessions can include conversations about thoughts and patterns, reflecting on past relationships, and trying small, manageable changes between meetings.
The therapist works in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Allan regularly uses client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, helping people make sense of their feelings and setting goals together. It suits people who want a conversation-based space to talk through current concerns and life choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical steps to change patterns. It can help with anxiety, panic, social fears and low mood by setting small, manageable actions and testing different ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your situation and preferences and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative decision that can change as the work progresses.
