Alison Gallagher - Psychotherapist in Uganda

About -  About Dr Alison Gallagher, Best Psychotherapist in Uganda

Hypnotherapy Coach

Alison is a UK-qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist with extensive experience working with professionals aged 25–55 across the UK, USA, and Kampala. Her practice helps clients shift limiting beliefs, reduce stress, and change behaviours that are holding them back.

Alison works with adults, teenagers, and couples.

Her approach combines evidence-based psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, and coaching—ideal for clients looking for transformational but practical results in areas such as: emotional eating and weight loss, stress, anxiety, and burnout, addictive behaviours (e.g. alcohol, smoking, shopping, and compulsive habits), confidence, self-esteem, and body image concerns.

What is Psychotherapy?

Unlike everyday conversations, psychotherapy is a collaborative process designed to help you understand yourself better, break unhelpful patterns, and develop new ways of thinking and coping. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, trauma, or personal struggles, therapy provides the tools to help you navigate life with greater clarity and resilience.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Unlike the myths often seen in the media, hypnotherapy is not about control or mind tricks. It is a safe, natural, and deeply relaxing process that allows you to tap into your inner resources, reprogram limiting beliefs, and gain greater control over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It works by guiding you into a state of deep relaxation and focused awareness (a trance-like state), where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions and new perspectives.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a collaborative process that empowers you to identify goals, explore options, overcome blocks, and take strategic action. Unlike therapy, coaching doesn’t focus on processing past trauma—instead, it’s about creating momentum, achieving clarity, and designing a future aligned with your values.
