When people begin searching for therapy, they are rarely looking for “just someone to talk to.” Most are looking for clarity, relief, direction, and someone who genuinely understands how to help them move forward.
That is where working with Alan Stokes at Horizon Connect can make a meaningful difference.
Based in Plymouth, Alan offers professional counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and coaching support for adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, anger, low confidence, relationship difficulties and emotional wellbeing challenges.

Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming. Many people delay getting support because they are unsure who to trust, whether therapy will help, or if they will feel understood.
Alan’s background helps bridge that gap.
He is not only a qualified therapist, but also the founder of Horizon Connect, with experience across business, charity work and mental health support. This often appeals to people who want a therapist who understands real life pressures — not just textbook psychology.
