My integrative approach draws from MBET, AEDP, ACT, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and IFS-informed practice, alongside somatic therapies.
My role as a therapist is to work alongside you, offering a supportive, non-judgemental space where we can gently explore what you are experiencing at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Together we can address difficulties such as anxiety, hyper-vigilance, depression, dissociation, intrusive thoughts, addiction, and related challenges. I support you in building internal balance, strengthening emotional regulation, managing stress, and working through trauma, life transitions, and relational difficulties.

Alice Pirie
Psychotherapist, MBACP
Southwark, London SE1
If you're stuck in patterns that aren't working, struggling in relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or trying to make sense of something difficult, together we can work out what's happening, why, and how things can change. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of trauma. We explore what is keeping you stuck: patterns that repeat, the inner voices that shape how you see yourself, the roles you find yourself in, and ways of coping that may once have helped but now create problems. My approach is thoughtful and direct. I’ll challenge you and laugh with you.

Our sessions are primarily conversational, but, I sometimes use imagery, chair work, mindfulness, breathing techniques, & subpersonalities (similar to IFS).
Are you feeling exhausted by life’s demands? Prehards you’ve always felt alone. Maybe you feel emotionally overwhelmed right now. Life can be difficult, and some experiences are profoundly painful. While everyone's challenges are unique, asking for help is always nerve-wracking; it takes a leap of faith to reach out! Still, therapy can change your life. I’m an experienced and fully qualified therapist registered with the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists. I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy sessions for adults of varying lengths, in either French (mother tongue) or English, according to your needs.

Much like life, I don’t believe there’s a ‘one-size fits all’ approach to therapy. My training is Integrative Transpersonal which means that, depending on your needs and experiences, I combine techniques from different therapeutic approaches to best support you. I work with adults and have specific experience in anxiety, depression, disordered eating, divorce and relationship issues, loss and grief, menopause and parenting.

Do you ever feel anxious, numb, or like you’re carrying a weight you can’t quite name? Many of the people I work with describe feeling stuck, distant from themselves, or quietly believing they’re not good enough, a feeling that echoes through their relationships, work, and inner world. Sometimes they’re navigating grief, loss, or a painful ending, or carrying early experiences of neglect or disconnection that have left them feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

My previous career as a scriptwriter has led me to be particularly attended to clients' narratives. Each individual has their unique story to tell. Each contains elements of significant people,conflicts, struggles and resources. It may impact the way we see ourselves, others and the world. By engaging in the process of therapy, we may open up new possibilities and to rewrite our stories.

Well done for taking the first step towards seeking more support. I know finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. Hi. I'm Bex (she/they). Therapy with me is non-judgmental, kind, and down-to-earth. It's a space to focus on you. I'm trauma-led, and I often work with women, queer, and neurodivergent people. I'm neuro-queer (with ADHD), too. I'm work hard to be anti-racist. In sessions, we'll uncover what's blocking you from where you want to be. I welcome any tricky, messy stuff; you do not need to have it figured out. I work in Brighton on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, in London Bridge on Thursdays, and online.
