About Alex

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lacking motivation, disconnected, questioning your choices or simply want to enjoy a better quality of life? I have worked extensively with people with anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship issues and big life transitions, as well as spiritual issues and creative blocks. People need to feel listened to in order to reconnect with themselves and develop the capacity to make different choices, and reach out for what they really want in life. I believe that challenges are also invitations to live a more fullfilled life so my role is to work with you to to feel more connection, aliveness, peace and be in touch with your authenticity.


I'm a body relational psychotherapist with 9 years experience in the NHS and in private practice and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. I draw on different approaches, though mainly I work drawing from my training in NARM. NARM is a gentle and effective way to work with how we store our entire life history, our beliefs, our needs and desires in our bodies, and explore how these affect how we relate to ourselves and others. It involves paying attention to your feelings and sensations in the here and now, expanding your capacity to respond to your life from a more centered and present place. I also use creative methods, such as movement or art making to complement talking. 


I work in a collaborative and non pathologising way so I don't give solutions or act like I know better about what's best for you. My aim is to meet you with warmth, curiosity, an open presence, and a supportive approach with a fair dose of challenge to help you explore your emotions, thoughts and experiences in a safe way. There are very few things that would shock me to listen to, so I'd like all of you to feel welcome. I am ready to meet you, and see how I could support you in your healing journey.

Alex's Testimonials

  • "Alex's guidance is sensitive, kind, boundaried and warm. He meets me where I am and brings acceptance, curiosity and skill to whatever I encounter. A surprise has come from the tangible impact that doing this work has had in my life. At the same time, I know I can bring my sadness, vulnerability and doubt into the space too and it is received with equal acceptance and kindness. I would highly recommend Alex to anybody wanting to do this work."

    Martha

  • "Every session I’ve had with Alex has been such a gift. Through this transformative work I now have greater access to my own creative gifts, a heightened level of felt safety and joy living in my body, a stronger ability to resource myself financially and energetically, and finally: trust in myself and my path. Alex’s trauma-informed, somatic approach and kind, gentle nature provided the exact space I needed to do this sometimes heavy (but always relieving and necessary) work."

    R. T.

  • "Alex met me with a calm and warm presence, and made space to listen and to address my questions and concerns. In guiding me through the work, he helped me find a sense of structure while also allowing for what emerged to develop. I felt witnessed, supported and kindly guided."

    Luiza

  • "Alex met all my expectations. Calm, steady, clear and full of kindness he supported me through the whole process in the exact way that I needed. With his help I managed to let go, trust and feel that he was there to guide, advise and empower. I am very grateful for this experience and for having worked with him"
