Hello, I’m Alex. I’m an experienced counsellor offering online and in-person sessions. I believe that talking about personal experiences in a supportive environment can lead to positive, long lasting change.

With over two decades of experience as an integrative therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of fertility, reproductive health, pregnancy, psychosexual challenges, and relationship issues. In 2003, I established a groundbreaking clinic in London that specialised in these fields using a variety of modalities. My therapeutic style is rooted in empathy, holism, rational emotional behavioural therapy (CBT model) and a person-centred approach. I draw upon a diverse range of techniques to delve into the underlying roots of any issue. I am also certified hypnotherapist.

Our lives are a complex mix of emotions about our relationships, both personal and social, work and other daily stresses, which are impacted by life events such as bereavement and loss, traumatic experiences, relationship breakdown. The emotional fallout from these can be stressful, confusiong and sometimes overwhelming, resulting in feeling rejected, anxious, or lacking energy and purpose. How often do we allow ourselves, or have the opportunity to talk openly about what's going on for us, with someone who will genuinely listen, without offering judgement or their own experiences?

I specialise in psychotherapy for performers in the arts and sport, helping people better understand themselves and their relationships with others. I am a qualified therapist, counsellor and performance coach working mostly online, but also offer bespoke services for those on set, on tour or in need of face-to-face consultations. In addition to my 4 year Postgraduate Diploma in TA (Transactional Analysis) Practice, I have trained in and incorporated CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in my sessions, and offer therapy for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, abuse, personal relationships and self-esteem.

My main focus is always on creating a safe therapeutic relationship where we can think creatively together about the difficulties you might be facing. I particularly enjoy working with neurodivergent young people and adults, exploring together how they experience the world. I work predominantly from a trauma-informed perspective and a lot of my work with neurodivergent families focusses on the parent-child relationship.

Hello and welcome to my blurb. I know it can potentially be a daunting experience choosing a therapist so I’ll try and make it as easy as possible to see a glimpse of me, and be clear on how it all works. What is most important for me is to be authentic, open-minded and honest in everything that I do, including my practice. I will always endeavour to be myself, which I hope will give you the permission to bring your whole self. I’m a person-centred therapist, which means that I am led by you and will be with you in your therapeutic journey as long as you want me there.

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing things aren’t feeling quite ‘right’ in your life at the moment. Perhaps you’re struggling with some difficult thoughts or feelings. Perhaps you’ve hit a fork in the road and you’re unsure which way to go. Perhaps you’re not really sure what ‘it’ is that needs to change. I believe that opening up and sharing your concerns with someone who is trained to listen and respond to you, is the first step in working through them. While counselling can’t remove the challenging experiences that you're facing, it can help to empower you so you can move through them with strength and purpose.

Choosing the right therapist can feel impossible especially when you're already feeling low, overwhelmed or disconnected. I offer a free first session so you can meet me and see if you think you'd like to work together. I’m down to earth and approachable and will create a supportive space for you and all your feelings so you can explore whatever it is that’s weighing you down. I want you to feel truly seen and heard. Often that’s all it takes to find a fresh perspective but I can also push and challenge you to help break away from whatever it is that’s been holding you back. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
