About the Facilitator - Alison Gallacher

After many years of working in education (primary, further and higher) I have retrained as a counsellor to pursue my passion for helping people. 

As a COSCA accredited counsellor I now work with individuals and couples, primarily within my own private practice.

When I qualified as a counsellor it was easy to feel isolated and unsupported. Who do I ask for advice? How do I know I’m doing the right thing? Do I have what it takes?

I am passionate about helping other counsellors make the first steps with more confidence than I had.
