Currently offering £20 off initial sessions. Hi, I’m Alex, a BACP-registered counsellor based in Bristol (BS1–BS16). I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity questions, and life transitions, helping people find clarity, balance, and confidence in themselves. I often support young adults, men, and those in creative fields facing pressures from work, life, or self-expression. I also work with new fathers, explore the challenges of modern masculinity, and support anyone experiencing isolation, loneliness, or significant life changes.

I take an approach that blends person-centred, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives. Together, we might explore how past experiences and relationships shape your present, how to cope with a fast-moving and often overwhelming world, or the deeper questions that arise around meaning, belonging, and the future.

In therapy, there can be space to challenge hardship, patterns and pressures, and to tackle the shame that so often comes with trying to be everything we’ve been taught to expect of ourselves. - It has come to my attention that some replies to enquiries have been going to junk folders.

Endorsement

Natalie Ward

Psychotherapist, MBACP

I was fortunate to train in psychotherapy alongside Alex. He has a real gift for bringing an existential, meaning-focused lens to his work with clients, and he meets big questions with care, presence, and a lot of heart.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
Existential
Humanistic
Integrative
Person-Centred
Psychodynamic

I work relationally, seeing therapy as a mutual, interactive process rather than a set of techniques. We might also explore your concerns through our relationship. Informed by existential philosophy, I emphasise meaning-making, responsibility, and embracing life's struggles, with a non-pathologising view of distress.
