Are you looking for someone to talk to? Who allows you to feel heard and tell your story? Who is non-judgemental and creates a safe space to talk? Has a kind and gentle approach?

Hello, I’m Alex. I am a Neurodivergent MBACP, Accredited Counsellor. I have been working in counselling for 7 years and thoroughly enjoy my job. My counselling work has mainly taken place within the NHS and private sectors including employee assistance programmes. I work from an integrative strength-based approach to therapy, which means that I am trained in a few different modalities including;

• Person Centred Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

I believe that there should not be a ‘one size fits all’ approach to therapy. We are all human with different sets of challenges and needs. My aim in session is to provide a safe space, whereby you feel you can show up as your true self and listen to your intuition. I can guide and support you to build a ‘tool kit’ of different skills to aid change for personal growth.

What can you expect from therapy?

• Slowly building a good therapeutic relationship.
• Unpacking things that you have never addressed before.
• Learning to look at things from a different perspective.
• Learning new skills & understanding new things about yourself.
• Setting boundaries and learning how to put yourself first.

I am frequently asked by new clients if I have a specialist area in which I work with. I believe that when I enter a therapy room I do not meet a issue or a problem. I meet a human being who deep down knows themselves best. I believe I specialise in being fully present for the person in my therapy room. Listening deeply and with full attention to what is being shared with me. However, there are certain areas in which I do have particular experience in.

• People with highly sensitive personality traits.
• People who have anxiety difficulties or imposter syndrome.
• People who are neurodivergent or are exploring the possibility of seeking a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism. Please be mindful that I am not qualified to make diagnoses. I sit with people who wish to talk more about their symptoms and explore possible traits. I am on the spectrum myself and although our experiences may not be the same, you may find it helpful to work with an Neurodivergent Counsellor.
• People who find themselves feeling resentful and exhausted when in the company of others.
• People who have lost someone important to them
