About Us

I am extremely passionate about my work and offer a warm and down to earth approach to therapy. My aim is to gently guide and support you through the difficult time in your life. My training in counselling and psychotherapy was obtained through the Adlerian Society of Wales where I held a position as a trustee.

I have completed further training in bereavement counselling with Cruse and completed a placement with the Hywel Dda Specialist Bereavement Service. I am proud to have worked as a volunteer for Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) for many years supporting local bereaved families and facilitating the local support group.

My approach is integrative and draws on different modalities including Adlerian psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy with a focus on encouragement, hope and collaboration. I offer therapy tailored to each individual’s needs by creating a safe, non-judgmental space that encourages self-awareness and growth. For the last 15 years I have worked with diverse client groups from refugees and asylum seekers in the nonprofit sector to in-patient psychiatric facilities. I have worked with issues including stress and anxiety and depression, trauma, eating disorders, OCD, personality disorders and with survivors of rape and sexual abuse.

I offer a relaxed, open and honest approach in my work.

My training and qualification is in Adlerian Counselling and Psychotherapy which is a humanistic approach, encouraging the release of unproductive feelings.

During my time as a student and subsequently as a qualified therapist I have worked with the DPJ foundation, providing talk therapy and much needed support to adults of all ages within the agricultural sector.

Working with the DPJ has increased my experience of working with many different mental health conditions, as well as enhancing my desire to help people with their challenges of daily living.

I am trained in Adlerian Counselling and Psychotherapy and have a Degree in Psychology. My previous job roles within the Care, Social and Academic Sectors have all been focused on understanding the needs and development of others. I am a compassionate therapist who works alongside my clients at their own pace; providing you with support, encouragement and techniques in a confidential safe space to guide you on your therapeutic journey.

Psychoeducation is appropriately incorporated into sessions (i.e. explanation of ideas and suggested reading/videos), which aims to give clients more understanding of topics discussed. This develops client’s awareness and understanding, therefore enabling new insights, positive change and movement within.

Gaining valuable awareness of why we are who we are and how this affects our thoughts and behaviours is extremely beneficial, as it helps clients to develop and increase their understanding, self-acceptance and well-being.

We can all experience times in our lives when we feel that the demands of life are too much for us to cope with. I provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can talk freely about the difficulties you are experiencing. I will support you to process and make sense of what you are going through and we will work together to find a way forward.

My core training is in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and I integrate other modalities of therapy to suit each individual. I am also qualified to practise the Rewind technique which is an approach that can be effective in helping people process traumatic memories and experiences.

I hope that by creating an environment in which you feel heard and validated, you will start to find answers to your questions and develop a clearer sense of who you are and how you want to move forward in your life.

I first came to Adlerian training twenty years ago, went on to study integrative therapy, and returned to become an Adlerian psychotherapist, having realised how much more I could offer working in this way. I also bring my learning and experience from my personal and professional lives to enrich and inform my practice.

I have expertise in neurodiversity, communication difficulties, trauma, creative writing and other expressive arts therapies. I am a certified Brainspotting practitioner. I act intuitively, drawing on creative and spiritual strengths. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher.

I worked in London and East Sussex, before returning to Wales 30 years ago. I have trained and supervised professionals, students and others in therapeutic and pastoral skills, neurodiversity, specialist teaching and assessment, creative writing, sexual health. I have been a diagnostic assessor and therapist for the neurodivergent, their families and intimate others. I have taught all ages, from 4 to 94, at primary, secondary, further education, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

I consider that I am an informed companion who travels alongside you for part of your life’s journey, while you regain a sense of wellbeing and clarity about your place in the world, who you are and where you wish to travel. I use my middle name, Clare.

Dr Alison Clare Scott (PhD, MA, Dip Adlerian Couns. & Psychotherapy, OCR Dip SpLD, PGCE, BA Hons.)

I am delighted to be joining the Canaston Bridge Wellbeing Team to provide a range of Complementary Therapies including Reflexology, Aromatherapy Massage, Swedish Massage, Hot Stones Massage and Hopi Ear Candling.

I take a holistic approach providing a safe and warm environment where I can focus on you and tailor specific treatments for your particular needs.

I am passionate about the therapeutic power of essential oils and incorporate them into my treatments to create a deeply relaxing experience allowing the body and mind to refresh and rebalance.

The treatments are enhanced and supported with on-going advice and help with general wellbeing including the use of oils in everyday life to ensure the benefits are real and long lasting. Feedback has been excellent with clients reporting a number of positive outcomes including physical benefits, tension relief, a sense of calm and relaxation, improved sleep patterns, feeling energised and uplifted with improved clarity and focus.

I look forward to welcoming you.

Having worked as a Holistic Therapist for over 20 years, I have gained much experience in many areas concerning health and wellbeing using Naturopathic Nutrition, Reflexology, Reiki and Massage.

Working on a one to one basis, with couples and families, I am very passionate about supporting and empowering others to understand and take charge of their own health.

Every individual has a unique story, so treatments are tailored to your personal needs.

Naturopathic Nutrition - By working together to create a personalised treatment plan, incorporating foods, herbs and lifestyle suggestions whilst identifying and addressing imbalances, intolerances and deficiencies, you will learn how to look after your mental, physical and emotional health so you can start living life to the full.

Reflexology - Through applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet which correspond to different parts of the body, a deep sense of relaxation and balance can be achieved, creating the perfect environment for healing to take place. A beautifully relaxing treatment, beneficial for specific health issues and for promoting overall well being.

Therapeutic Massage - A relaxing or uplifting experience, using specifically blended essential oils. Your treatment will be tailored to your individual needs concentrating on specific problematic areas or the whole body. Perfect for relaxing tense or tired muscles, mental fatigue and promoting detoxification.

Reiki - With its origins in Japan, using a sequence of hand placements on or above the body, your own unique healing ability is stimulated. Using universal energy to help balance energy flow, specific areas or the whole body can be treated, promoting a feeling of deep relaxation and harmony on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level.

I’m Christina, a certified and accredited wellbeing coach, somatic therapist, reiki therapist and colour therapist. My work is intuitive, trauma-informed and rooted in the nervous system, drawing on a rich blend of modalities to support the emotional, physical and spiritual self. No two sessions are the same. I meet you exactly where you are, gently guiding you back to the wisdom within your own body, to what is real and true for you.

My approach is soft but deeply powerful. Whether you’re navigating a transition, sitting in the unknown or feeling the call for change, I offer a steady presence and a safe space to explore what’s arising. Together we move beneath the surface, beyond the noise of the mind, to reconnect with a more honest, grounded and embodied sense of self. From this place of safety and self-trust, lasting transformation becomes possible.

You might come to me seeking relief, clarity, deeper connection, or simply for a moment to land and receive some healing.

I offer one-to-one sessions in person here at Canaston Bridge Wellbeing. Whether you’re looking for a one-off experience or ongoing support, this work is an invitation to come home to yourself, at your own pace, in your own time. You’ll be met with tenderness and compassion, as you reclaim your wholeness, move beyond fear and reconnect with the gentle wisdom that’s always sat within you.

For those who are feeling the call into this work, but are unsure of what to expect, I’m offering a selection of taster experiences. These offer a powerful window into the deeper work we can do together. These taster sessions include: a gentle somatic reset to bring you back to your senses and a greater sense of safety in yourself; an energetic healing that draws on reiki and colour; or an experiential inquiry that helps you receive guidance from your own inner knowing, in response to a question or line of inquiry that you’re currently sitting with.

Please get in touch if you’d like to explore what this work could look like for you.
