About me
My name is Luisa Alexa and I specialise in grounding your confidence in your true self. In just a few sessions you will no longer need to fake it because you'll know how to tap into your inner power, which gives you unshakeable self-worth whatever you do.
Training, qualifications & experience
I employ a diverse range of techniques, including psychodynamic, Gestalt, cognitive, transactional analysis, and sensorimotor techniques, to cater to your unique needs. For trauma-related issues, I integrate psychodrama, CBT, and a gentle form of hypnosis into my practice.
My anthropological studies have given me a deeper understanding of cultural clashes and help me better meet the needs of people from diverse backgrounds.
As an integrative counsellor, I stay up-to-date with continuous professional development (CPDs). I engage with various therapeutic approaches, including relationship and family counselling, psychoanalysis, arts therapies, psychodrama, bioenergetics, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mentalisation-based therapy (MBT), coaching, and understanding disabilities and neurodivergence.
Throughout the years, I’ve never stopped questioning myself and embraced various personal development paths, including creative arts, spiritual programs and 20 years of parenting.
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.

Further information
The sessions are designed to provide the safety you need to playfully experiment with a different version of you for as long as you need to, until you take that into the real world. An exciting journey I've experience myself and many others before you.
