Hello, I’m Alex.

I have come to counselling quite recently having spent my career to-date in the civil service, in foreign policy and diplomacy. Having completed a Diploma in Person-Centred Therapy I am gradually building up my knowledge and experience through ongoing placements while building my private practice. Through placements with local charities I have worked with a broad range of clients and encountered a broad range of issues including mental health difficulties, domestic and sexual abuse, illness, grief, and substance misuse.

Person-centred therapy is based on a fundamental truth: we are the experts on ourselves. There are times when we lose sight of that, and need some support to reconnect with the self. My role is simply to walk along that path with you, and to help you rediscover and accept yourself, in order that you can grow and change.

By being open to you and whatever you bring to counselling, I can help you find time and space to explore yourself and the world, and whatever issues you encounter. By building an honest, non-judgemental and accepting relationship we can shine light into the darkest corners, in which you will find resilience, courage, and wisdom.
