Alison recently moved to Crieff from Edinburgh where she was in private practice for many years as a psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer with CPTI, and more recently with Physis. Although she has now retired from her practice as a therapist she continues to run a small supervision practice for individuals and groups, as well as bi-annual seminars.

Her published articles have included ‘Suicide: The Only Way Out’ (2006: The Transactional Analyst), and ‘Thoughts on Shame and Pride’ (2013: Strokes).

She has had a particular interest in exploring issues involved with the universal experience of shame.

Her other continuing interests are her grandchildren, painting and developing the garden in her new home. Until recent events intervened she was taking the first steps towards becoming involved in her new community – currently this goes not further than Thursday evenings on the doorstep.
