About me
Hello, I’m Alexandra.
I'm a psychodynamic counsellor dedicated to supporting individuals in exploring their inner world and navigating life’s challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in Psychodynamic and Jungian psychology, offering a supportive and reflective space to uncover meaning, heal, and grow.
I'm a qualified and registered therapist with experience of working with a wide range of clients and issues. I’m currently undergoing additional clinical training in Psychodynamic/ Jungian Psychotherapy.
My work is grounded in accredited professional training and ongoing development, ensuring you receive a high standard of care tailored to your unique needs.
What I Offer
Psychodynamic therapy offers the opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences to better understand yourself. It can help you uncover what might be holding you back or keeping you stuck, overwhelmed or unhappy in life.
I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement, self esteem and confidence issues, as well as those wishing to make sense of life and find a greater sense of meaning and purpose.
My approach is especially helpful for those struggling with difficult early life experiences which are impacting current relationships, family life, work or emotional life.
Regular, weekly sessions offer you a safe and supportive space within which to make sense of yourself and your experiences and be guided towards personal growth, healing and a greater sense of meaning and purpose.
Where I Practice
I offer therapy services in Hanley Swan in Worcestershire. My office is conveniently located for those in Malvern, Worcester, Tewkesbury, Ledbury, Upton upon Severn and surrounding areas of Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.
My practice is easily accessible and provides a private, welcoming environment.
When I’m Available
Appointments are available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Contact me to find out more about current available appointment options.
Why Choose Me as Your Therapist
I understand that seeking therapy is a deeply personal decision, which takes courage and commitment. I am dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard. My approach is compassionate, thoughtful, and collaborative, empowering you to explore your challenges and achieve 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.
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.

I will be moving to a beautiful new office in Hanley swan in Worcestershire in February 2025. This is easily accessible from Malvern, Worcester, Ledbury, Tewkesbury and surrounding areas.
Further information
Psychodynamic counselling sessions occur weekly, for 50 minutes, at the same time and place each week.
I offer an initial telephone call to discuss what you are looking for from counselling and to discuss the practicalities such as availability.
Following this, an assessment session is booked where we will discuss in more detail what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, for you to find out more about the way I work and for us to decide if we are a good fit to work together.
If we decide that ongoing therapy is the right step for you, we will arrange weekly sessions, which will be your space exclusively for as long as you need it.
