Glasgow Anxiety and Depression Counselling Service

About Me and My Approach

Hello, thanks for visiting my Supervisor Profile. My name is Alexandra and I am a fully qualified and accredited Integrative and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I practice from an integrative  and cognitive behavioural approach.  I am also a fully qualified Clinical Supervisor and I am also an accredited trainer in counselling and psychotherapy.

I supervise psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists from a range of therapeutic modalities including cognitive and behavioural; person-centred; integrative, coaching and others. I also offer clinical supervision to other non-therapist professionals including dietitians; support/mental health workers; nurses; teachers; and business professionals.

I am also an accredited trainer and can supervise other trainers and lecturers in psychotherapy and counselling. I also offer supervision to other supervisors. 

I supervise trainee therapists; newly qualified therapists; experienced therapists and accredited therapists in addition to those above.  

I hold accredited membership with COSCA (Scotland's main membership body for psychotherapy and counselling); membership with BABCP and graduate membership with the British Psychological Society. I am also Chair of EDTNG (Eating Disorder Therapist Networking Group) and Consultant at EDMenSt. I am Clinical Director at three private psychotherapy practices and manage a team of 14 therapists in Scotland and England. I also faciliate several networking groups. I am also a trainer/lecturer (independently and for several providers).

I am an encouraging and supportive clinical supervisor and work hard to help my supervisees be the best therapists, counsellors and professionals they can. I am warm and friendly and create a safe and confidential space in which to discuss clients, seek support and information, problem-solve conflicts and dilemmas and explore any personal concerns or challenges you may be facing as a clinician or professional. I am encouraging and have a sense of humour, which I think is really important given the work we all do. 

My current supervisees have all benefited from my encouraging approach and found supervision to be valuable in many ways. It's important to have a supportive space as a therapist/professional, isn't it? I feel that I provide this. 

Location

I can offer supervision appointments at my clinic in Glasgow city centre. I can also offer online appointments (Zoom/Signal/Teams) to anyone across the UK. I live in Argyll and Bute and can offer Walk and Talk Supervision in the Helensburgh and Lomona area (e.g Cardross/Rhu/Ardrmore/Helensburgh/surrounding areas.
