Allison Grant

I currently have some availability in my Cambridge practice which is easily accessible and offers on-street parking. 

I am a qualified and experienced couple and individual therapist. I completed my postgraduate training at Tavistock Relationships, a unit of the Tavistock Institute of Medical Technology and an internationally recognized centre for couples counselling and psychotherapy, training and research. 

In addition to my private practice in Cambridge, I'm a visiting clinician and an assessor at Tavistock Relationships in London. 

I work with a wide range of couples and individuals from different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. Relationship issues can vary considerably, but as an example I am able to work with difficulties in communication, affairs and betrayals, arguing and conflict and life transitions (starting a family/children leaving home/retirement), to name but a few common areas that can be addressed in therapy. 

I work face-to-face in Cambridge and also online. 

I work in a psychodynamic way, meaning I think about how our emotional responses to current experiences and challenges are shaped by our past, especially our experiences of relating to others. This way of thinking can help shed some light on our emotional struggles, break unhelpful patterns and lead to a greater understanding of ourselves and what may be getting in the way of our relationships.

I understand that the idea of starting therapy can be daunting. I recommend that we have an initial meeting to explore your hopes for therapy and to find out more about you. Most importantly, this is an opportunity to see if we feel we can work well together before making a commitment.
