Here to listen, support and help you create your next chapters

 

 

Hi, my name is Alex I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. With 15 years experience working with individuals and groups to help people find their peace, place, meaning and purpose.

 

My biggest passion is supporting women in their midlife and beyond. Helping to support before during and after Menopause. Help with divorce, anxiety, depression, financial anxiety, careers, death/ illness/ care of parents, body image, weight issues, physical changes, libido, anger, self-esteem, relationships, sexuality, role loss, empty nest, bereavement, health well-being and life in general. I am an active longevity advocate and work with women to get them to a place of strength in all ways.   I work short or long term with clients, depending on what they would like to do.

 

A huge part of counselling and therapy is the relationship between the Client and their therapist – it must feel right for you. In this spirit I offer a free consultation and then if you decide to work with me and it is appropriate for me to do so (see FAQ below)  we can work towards agreeing our contract (see FAQ)  and go from there

About me

What I offer

 

I offer 50 minute 1-2-1 therapy sessions online or in person. This is known as a Therapy Hour

My style of work is based in person centred therapeutic practice ( https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/person-centred-counselling/ and use different theories like Psychodynamic   ( https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/psychodynamic-therapy/roach )  to help a client. I like to work with people by focusing in and also zooming out – which means we look at the stuff that is going on in someone’s life and also the really big questions like who am I, who do I want to be .

 

I charge £65 per hour in person or online. I also welcome those needing concessions (OAP, low income, Key worker) It helps to have a flexible plan, say up to 5 sessions- (you don’t need to pay in blocks but there can be a discount if chosen) and we can then have a check in and recap of the journey so far and where we want to continue to go. In your fees I will also send any resources and links that I feel might be of interest and help. My practice is on the first floor.

 

I am fully insured and a Member of the BACP.
