About us
Hi my name is Alexandra and I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist with over 15 years of supporting individuals and couples through life’s more complex emotional landscapes. My work is grounded in warmth, insight, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek support.
I offer a calm, thoughtful space where both partners can slow down, feel heard, and begin to understand the patterns shaping their relationship. Whether you are facing ongoing conflict, betrayal, or the strain of life transitions, therapy provides an opportunity to step out of reactive cycles and move towards greater clarity and connection.
Alongside my established psychotherapy practice, I have trained to work with couples and am currently undertaking advanced specialist training to further deepen my practice. This reflects my ongoing commitment to professional development and to offering the highest standard of therapeutic care.
My approach is balanced and non-judgemental. I do not take sides; instead, I help each partner feel understood while gently guiding the relationship towards greater awareness, repair, and possibility. For some couples this means rebuilding and strengthening their bond, while for others it may involve gaining clarity about the future, both are approached with care, steadiness and respect.
At the heart of my work is the belief that even in periods of disconnection, relationships hold the potential for understanding, growth and meaningful change.

Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
