Stephanie Alexander

Are you feeling sad, angry, confused, overwhelmed, anxious or just not as happy as you would like you feel? Then I can help you to understand your feelings and to gain clarity so you can move forward in your life. 

Hi. I'm Stephanie and I am a Person-Centred Experiential Counsellor and Psychotherapist awarded a first class honours degree in this area.

I have years of experience working with a diverse range of issues and difficulties; providing emotional support to both adults and young people. I have successfully supported many individuals in third sector organisations, charities, schools, colleges, university and GP practices and am currently employed as a Mental Health Practitioner for an international organisation alongside running my private practice.

Positive feedback from my clients has endorsed my ability and competence in supporting others with their mental health.

I currently work exclusively via digital therapy options (online via video or telephone). This is a popular, workable way to connect for many people and is a convenient, accessible choice particularly those who have trouble with travel, feel isolated, or live in remote areas.

I always work professionally and authentically. I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and adhere fully to their Ethical Guidelines and Framework. I also have full, professional indemnity insurance and enhanced DBS clearance.

Working in a Person-Centred way is "non-directive" which means that you are in control of what you wish to explore and the process as a whole. I have a strong faith, supported by research and personal experience, that Person-Centred Therapy is effective in bringing about real change and personal growth within people. I feel passionately that everyone has the potential, with this support, to live their better life.

During our sessions, I provide a safe, relaxed, confidential space to explore your emotions, concerns, past or current experiences. I will support you in developing the confidence to make your own way forward in the direction you choose.

I respect each individual and what they bring to the sessions and realise that opening up to a stranger can be daunting. I feel in this respect; a key strength of my practice is my natural ability of allowing people to feel at ease in our space. Above all, I believe our therapeutic relationship is the key to growth, supported by my skills, experience and qualifications.

I encourage you to work at your own pace, whether you require short or long-term therapy and assure you that will receive my full warm, nurturing presence during each and every session.

Receiving professional support during difficult times allows us to show kindness to ourselves. We may discover things that have remained out of our awareness that can change how we think and feel now, and in the future. We don’t have to let the past dictate the future.

Please see my website www.flourishcounsellingtherapy.com for further information.

If you feel ready to take that first step, I really hope to meet you soon!

I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation for you to decide if you feel comfortable working together; or alternatively, you may decide to start therapy immediately with a full session (£50 per hour). 

Please inform me at the time of booking which you would prefer.
