About me
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or those around you?
Perhaps you are struggling with persistent anxiety, depression, repeating relationship patterns, or a sense that past experiences are holding you back. These challenges can feel deeply isolating—but therapy offers a confidential, grounded space to make sense of what you are going through and build real, lasting change.
Psychotherapy in Amersham Town Centre (In-Person & Online)
I am an NHS-employed, BPC-registered Psychotherapist offering private therapy in central Amersham. Alongside my private practice, I work within the NHS delivering depth psychotherapy for individuals facing complex emotional difficulties. My clinical foundation is informed by psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives (trained at the Society of Analytical Psychology in London).
Psychotherapy with me goes beyond short-term symptom management. We work together to understand the deeper emotional patterns, relational dynamics, and past experiences shaping your present life—helping you develop a more authentic, compassionate relationship with yourself and others.
What I Offer:
Weekly 50-Minute Sessions: Individual, depth-oriented psychotherapy.
In-Person Practice: A quiet, private consulting room in central Amersham (HP6), easily accessible from Chesham, Beaconsfield, Little Chalfont, Great Missenden, and Gerrards Cross.
Online Therapy: Flexible, secure video sessions for UK-based clients.
Private Health Insurance: Registered provider with Aviva (as well as self-funding clients).
Next Steps & How to Get Started: Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting. I offer a brief, informal 15-minute phone consultation (free of charge) so we can discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions, and arrange an initial assessment session.
To arrange a call, send me a brief message using the contact form or email me directly at alexpapadakispsychotherapy@gmail.com I aim to respond within 24 hours.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed the professional Psychodynamic Psychotherapy training at the SAP (Society of Analytical Psychology) in London. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council BPC.
I have extensive experience seeing a broad range of psychotherapy patients in the NHS where I work with issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse and personality disorders.
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.
