My weekly practice sessions 

(Composed solely by Donna Alexander)

Hello ..

I am a mature private Psychotherapist, offering many years of professional intervention within the NHS, Rape Crisis Centres, Mental Health services and Work-based settings, supporting clients challenged by complex mental health, traumas, difficult patterns of behaviour, grief & loss, anxieties, emotional disharmony, relationships, and long-term depressive states.

Being a Practitioner of this experience has been very influential in the application of my work with clients, and in bringing the diversity of skills required to achieve their outcome and the quality of their therapeutic experience, I integrate both a directive and non-directive structure in my practice.

I offer you therapeutic services In person, (Alderley Edge & Manchester), Online and Telephone, meeting the flexibility clients require to access a platform suitable to their needs. Whether your choice is to address an isolated matter, a combination of influencing factors, or an historic unresolved locked in trauma, together we will address these patterns with thoroughness, and authenticity

Selecting the right therapist is essential in achieving the outcome you search for, this relationship is a fundamental part in supporting how you move through and grow forward with those changes you wish to make. An initial session with me is offered as a Consultation, from which we are able to learn more about each other and our therapy journey together, before continuing further.

There are no limits to how you can connect with me, directly or via the BACP, though for a more reliable source of enquiry and securing my response, I do invite WhatsApp or Text 07766200100

I hope my profile has provided you with a brief introduction to me, my experience, and the type of client presentations I support in my practice..

Kindest regards

Donna

“Therapy for the right now, and the long-term” 

Endorsing my private therapy practice, is the fusion of professional experience and continuing training.  Presentations I continue to support are both familiar and complex: work related stress, bereavement, sexual matters, CPTSD, childhood sexual/ritualistic abuse, OCD, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, dissociative disorders, emotional dysregulation, and of high control religion …

Some areas within the therapeutic field I have trained,  are in alignment to serve my practice and those client presentations I support; Single Session Therapy (provides support at the point of need); Flash Therapy; Person Centred Therapy; EFT; Dissociation; Trauma Focused; Complex Sexual Behaviour; Polyvagal; Critical Incident Debriefing; Inner Child (a 'directed' resolution focused model, using methodologies of TA, NLP, Visualisation & SFT) NLP; Anxiety; Grief; Depression

What suits you .. and where to find me:

I continue to offer Zoom and Telephone interactions. Face to face clients would meet at my independent practice based on the first floor and situated conveniently close to the City centre of Manchester.  There are 2 local tram stops within 10 minute walking distance and surrounding on street car parking.  I am also located in Alderley Edge, close by the Rail Station.  These environments are comfortable and relaxed.

The Enquiry/Initial Consultation:

As the therapeutic relationship is one in which you are investing with me. It is necessary that I recognise what you want from your therapy journey so we don't waste the valued time you are putting in to yourself. It is an opportunity to ask the questions you have, and to learn if my Practice is the right space for you. For this initial 50 minute interaction, I would invite you to the practice for an In Person appointment, however, if you'd prefer, we can do this via Zoom or over the Telephone. This Initial Consultation is engaged for a reduced fee and does not put us into an Agreement.

I would hope you will gain a true reflection of what working together would be like to support your decision when searching for the right therapist for you. This is liken to a first session together, however, as with any client relationship, there is no expectation for you to further your therapy.

The length of time an individual will want of therapy;

This will be determined by what you are seeking from your therapy, what the personal needs are of the client, and if you want your therapy to be ongoing or intermittent. These factors shape the process and achievement of your desired outcome.

To arrange a personalised Consultation Session in our diaries, I invite you to contact me directly via text message on 07766 200 100 or info@attic.ltd and via BACP

Hope this information has been helpful ..

Kindest regards
