About me
Hello, I'm Alex. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed counselling for women+ who are experiencing difficult or overwhelming times in their lives.
You may be struggling with something that has happened recently, carrying the effects of experiences from the past, or simply feel that things have become difficult to manage. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.
Together, we can create a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what you're experiencing, make sense of your feelings and begin to find a way forward.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and we'll work at a pace that feels right for you.
If you feel you might like to work together please do get in touch. I offer a free telephone consultation to establish if we are the right fit, so there is no obligation by reaching out.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a Level 7, Masters qualified therapist and I have almost a decade of experience working with female survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. I have also worked with female users of self-injury and I have a size-inclusive (HAES) approach to issues around body image. I come from a liberal and intersectional perspective in my client's work.
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.
