About me
Maybe you're here because you don't feel like yourself, things happened, a lot is going on and you need someone to talk to.
You are not alone.
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often find ourselves grappling with challenges, seeking understanding, or yearning for change. Whether you're navigating personal relationships, anxieties, depression, facing professional dilemmas, or feeling overwhelmed by life's complexities, I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for you to explore, grow and thrive.
Why Choose Me as Your Therapist or Coach? Or Both?
With more than 150 client hours in counselling and coaching, I bring a holistic approach that combines the Person-Centred method with Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) elements and personalised Coaching strategies. My mission is to support you in finding answers (even those you are afraid of) to the questions you ask yourself so you can better process your emotional blockages and elevate your life.
I will help you get a better understanding of your emotions, experiences and any presenting issues. I will move with you from your comfort zone to stretching you a little bit to accompany you in stepping into your potential.
In my integrative counselling and coaching style I believe that every client is special, and I work uniquely with every single person designing individual journeys under individual needs.
I work best with doers, achievers, and generally active people who are on the go and make things happen. I help that particular group of people deal with anxieties, depressive moments, relationship issues, sex, time management, life balance, perfectionism, guilt, shame and stress.
With my clients, my priority is fostering a strong rapport built on trust and respect, as it is the foundation of meaningful and transformative change. I work with a lot of empathy, and acceptance, listen carefully, ask questions to make sure I get my clients right, and provide congruent reflections validating and honouring the other side's feelings and beliefs.
How to Begin Your Journey?
Take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow and reach out. Whether seeking individual counselling or coaching I am here to support you. Take a look at my website, or my Instagram page for more information and to get an insight into if I am the right therapist for you.

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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
A little bit about me :)
Hi, I am Aleksandra! You can call me Aleks or Alex (my English clients and friends spell it a bit differently haha). I am originally from Bulgaria but also half Russian; hence, I am 100% Slavic. I moved to the UK in 2017 on my own to do my studies; after completing 7 hundred thousand courses I decided to set up my private practice and start consulting and coaching clients as a business. And I love it.
I am known among colleagues, clients and friends as an advocate for truth, prosperity and growth. I think I do a lot in my life - great with time management, I go after my goals, am driven, quite active, always on the go, looking after myself, which includes lots of self-care and love, organised, keep positive and am being good in the heart. That lifestyle makes me happy and I want to help my clients have that too. That's one of my motivators for doing what I'm doing. <3
(I live on my own, love fashion, keeping myself up to date, going to nice places, keeping fit and spending time out and in nature.)
