Meet Alexandra
Hello and welcome
I'm so glad you found me.
When it comes to looking for a therapist online I know how scary and strange it can feel with the myriad of choices, how do you know who will be right for you?
Here are some things I'd like you to know about me;
I am a fully qualified CPCAB counsellor meaning I have been trained and assessed by nationally certified exam bodies.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) this means I have passed their proficiency exam and follow the strict framework and ethics of a nationally recognized body.
I work integratively meaning I use lots of different models allowing me to tailor my sessions specifically around my client's needs.
I work solely online allowing me to offer sessions to you no matter what part of the country you live in, with the ease and comfort of being in your own desired space alongside the added benefits of covid safety.
I have had my own mental health struggles in the past and chose to explore 3 years of weekly counselling myself so I know first-hand how it can feel from a client's perspective.
I am passionate about helping people uncover their higher potential. Witnessing this transformation is a privilege and the reason that I adore my job.
Before becoming a counsellor I worked as a lighting technician in London's West End Theatre industry. Working alongside huge casts, directors and creative teams honed my interpersonal skill allowing me to develop advanced communication and active listening alongside interacting closely with people from all different cultural, economic, and social backgrounds.
I also became adept at mediating highly stressful situations in a calm, balanced and respectful way, conflict resolution was a priority to a smooth running production.
Within the therapy space, the relationship I hold with you (my client) is paramount to me. I work hard to foster a safe, empathic space filled with unconditional positive regard.
It is my belief that every client has the answers to their own issues deep inside and together we walk side by side in an arena of non-judgment and equal partnership to unlock them.
You will always be in complete control of every session, this will always be your time and space, I do not lead and I do not advise, instead, I use theory, psycho-education & specifically targeted, exploratory questions based on the information you share to unearth the answers that are congruent and most applicable for you.
My aim is to empower you to grow your own awareness, resources, and understanding of "self" until that moment you are ready to be discharged and take all you have discovered about yourself with you onto the next stage of your journey.
Why Therapy?
It can help with
Life Transistions.
There are moments in all our lives when we wake up and simply dont recognise the person looking back at us. At these times we can feel stuck, unmotivated, unsure of what decision or direction to take. Using active listening skills and targeted questions I walk alongside you to discover together your new life path.
Trauma.
Trauma can be held in the mind and body alike often creating disconnection from the self. Using a holistic approach I encourage clients to explore the mind/body connection to gain awareness of behaviors, and patterns informed by trauma that may be holding them back.
Depression.
Depression can manifest on a sliding scale from mild to severe but one universal truth is that however you are affected it can be a lonely, frightening and exhausting place to be. Having a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings can offer respite as you work your way through the process.
I offer couples counselling to one partner or combined providing an equal, non-judgemental space for couples to explore any issues in their relationship ranging from sex lives, trust, infertility improved communication and partnership, and more.
Couples Counselling.
Anxiety / Panic attacks
Anxiety can leave you feeling confused, isolated and alone. As well as offering compassion and understanding I like to employ psychoeducation in order to inform you of the physiology behind anxiety and what's happening in your body at the same time uncovering triggers in your mind.
Family Mediation.
Sometimes the closest people to us can be the most difficult to communicate with. I offer couples counseling & mediation between family members creating an open, neutral & respectful space to feel seen & heard while exploring your differences.
