Hi! I’m Alex. I try to be guided by self-awareness; compassion; creativity; and courage. These values also drive my work as an integrative therapist, which is where we meet.

For me, this means I may use various approaches of counselling to inform my practice. I believe that people have inner resources to become the best version of themselves, and that many problems in life have their roots in the past. If we can become aware of our past – and how it may be influencing us in the present – we can take action to change it. I would like to help you attain this awareness; to challenge and support you; to help you find your way of being.

My training aimed at prioritising the relationship between client and therapist – a relational model. I am predominantly informed by person-centred and psychodynamic schools of thought in my practice, but find other elements useful, such as mindfulness. Furthermore, emotions can be stored (and stuck) in the body, somatic practices can allow for a release of energy in a different way to talking therapy.
