About me
Hi, I am Alex and thank you for visiting my page. I have been practising as a counsellor for over 15 years and also a counselling supervisor. My approach is integrative of person-centred and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). I am also a front-line worker and been working in this field for equally as long. I have worked with many different presentations over the years with individuals struggling with anxiety, neurodiverse, stress, trauma, addictions, sleep disturbance, abuse, and relationship. Having ADHD helps me better work with individuals in this area.
By employing evidence-based practices, I work towards empowering clients to uncover the root causes of their presentation and develop healthy coping mechanisms and strategies for long-term well-being.
Within my work I strive to create a warm and non-judgmental environment that promotes self-discovery and growth whilst emphasising empathy and unconditional positive regard, with the structured techniques of CBT, I tailor each therapy session to meet the unique needs and goals of every client.
With a strong commitment to ongoing professional development, I feel it is important to stay up to date with the latest advancements in the field of psychotherapy. With a holistic approach, combined with experience, I want to ensure that clients receive the highest quality care necessary to navigate their journey towards self-empowerment.
If you are wanting to take the first step towards healing and personal development, then please get in touch and I will help guide you on this journey.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
