About me

Call Me Al Counselling

Leave your preconceptions about therapy and therapists at the next full stop.

Good, now we have a clean slate.

I am human first, therapist second and I may even share some of your struggles. Sure, I’ve got the certificates to back it up, and if you're curious I can share those, however what really matters is our therapeutic relationship.

My approach is tailored to YOU with a very honest, authentic style and the fluffy ‘therapy speak’ is kept to a minimum. Sure, I can be empathic and sit with you in your time of need, but I want it to feel genuine for you.

As I mentioned, I’m human first. I love sport and keeping myself active. I love art, music and being in sunny destinations. I also have a family who I annoy!

So now you know: I am Alexis - but you can, of course, Call Me Al.

Contact Me

There are many ways you can contact me so choose which method is best for you, links to my website, email and the ability to book an intro call are all at the top of the page. The fact you’re on this directory considering help already means you’ve taken the bravest of steps to seek support. I look forward to hearing from you. Al.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).
