Alexandra Pascal-Noel

I am currently not taking on any clients. 

I am a proud Black non-binary lesbian woman with Epilepsy, an invisible disability.

I am a qualified integrative therapist.

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma and MSc in Mental Health Psychology.

I am also a BAATN anti-oppression trainer.

I believe everybody deserves therapy, especially if you are Black, a person of Colour, disabled, and identify as LGBTQIA+. And even more so if you hold those identities intersectionally.

I work from an integrative perspective because I believe that no two human beings are the same, and therefore one therapeutic approach cannot work for all.

I believe within a strong, trusting and safe therapeutic relationship, we can work together to raise an unconscious process into conscious awareness.

From an existential perspective, I work with my clients non-judgementally and empathically, not assuming anything about their experiences while making space for them to find their life meaning.

From a psychoanalytic and humanistic perspective, I use attachment theory to understand how my client’s early trauma may have affected their relationships with others. I feel the therapeutic relationship is important for modelling healthy and secure attachments in the here-and-now.

From a transpersonal and embodied perspective, I like to work as two human bodies in a room together, carrying generations of life experience and oppression. I am also a published writer and use poet and prose as a form of expression and narrative therapy.

I usually suggest that we meet online for an initial chat of thirty minutes, so you can get a sense of me and how I work. There is no charge for this introductory chat.

I will explain the boundaries of confidentiality and ask broadly what you would like from psychotherapy. I will take care not to go too deeply into your concern in the first meeting, so you can get a clear sense of how you feel in conversation with me.

I suggest you take some time after this initial chat to consider whether you feel we might be a good match.
