I work with what each client brings in a unique and individual way focusing on the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle for change. Being curious about human behaviour has resulted in my career in psychology. I have particular interest and expertise in helping individuals deal with change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and body image challenges. I also offer clinical supervision to qualified and in training psychological therapists.

I offer practical and supportive online CBT therapy for adults across the UK who are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, low self-esteem, stress or burnout. Many people feel exhausted by constant worry or pressure and may appear to cope well outwardly while struggling internally. Together, we identify the patterns keeping things stuck and develop practical strategies to help create a greater sense of calm, confidence and control.

As an experienced and qualified counsellor, I will help you to make sense of what's happening in your life as I believe that this understanding will open up options for you to move forwards and past the uncomfortable feelings you are experiencing. You might be wanting to deal with past/current difficult and distressing experiences; improve personal or work relationships; overcome fears or anxieties; develop confidence or self-esteem; or find more purpose, motivation or fulfilment in your life.

I am a registered healthcare provider for major health insurance companies, including AXA, Aviva, Bupa, Cigna, Vitality Health, and WPA.
I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for personal growth. I'll support you to recognise the ways in which trauma is impacting the ways you relate to yourself and others, and to also uncover new strengths and pathways for meaningful personal growth beyond the challenges you've experienced.
I have often found that understanding people's diagnoses and symptoms as responses to what they have lived through is valuable in helping them shed the self-blame they might carry. Often, people find themselves stuck in cycles of behaviour that no longer serve them, yet feel at a loss for how to make meaningful change.

The people who come to us arrive with the full range of adult difficulty — anxiety that has been wearing them down, depression, the after-effects of trauma, relationships that are not working, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ clients looking for genuinely affirming practice, and senior professionals carrying pressure they cannot put down anywhere else. What our team of more than 90 qualified counsellors and therapists offers is something specific: deliberate matching. You are not assigned to whoever happens to be available. You are matched to the practitioner whose training, specialism, and approach actually fit your needs.

I accept AXA, Aviva, WPA, Bupa.
I'd be honoured to offer you a space where you'll feel truly heard, understood and supported. I'm Alex, a BACP Accredited counsellor, with 8+ years' experience, and 25+ five-star Trustpilot reviews. Whatever you're going through, we'll figure it out together.

In our sessions, I’ll help you to reconnect with yourself, so you can navigate life's challenges with more clarity and confidence, and make decisions that better align with who you want to be.
