Life is too short for stress...

Hello, my name is Alexandra and I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor based in the UK. I offer 1:1 individual counselling to adults. Welcome to my website, please look around. Below you can find more general information about counselling and who can benefit from it. Also, a bit more about my practice and how I work alongside working experiences and education information. If you have any questions, please contact me, you can find my contact details in the top right corner.

The first question that can come up is what counselling means and who can benefit from counselling services. Counselling is a form of talking therapy and this includes a trained and qualified therapist (counsellor) to listen to you and explore ways to work on your issues. Issues can involve many things including daily hassles, stress, low mood or relationship problems alongside depression, anxiety, grief, eating disorder, abuse or trauma. Also, sometimes people face a specific problem or feel stuck. This list is not exhaustive. So anyone and everyone can benefit from counselling at least at some point in their lives. Counselling also provides space to grow and find the best potential in a non-judgemental and empathic way.

I’ve always had an interest and desire to help people and also to understand the underlying mechanisms of different emotions, drives or mental health problems. Prior to my counselling journey, I worked in health and social care for several years and then continued volunteering at Redlands Counselling and Training Agency working with adults with common mental health and other psychological problems.
