Alessandra Spagnoli

Welcome to a warm space where your unique story is valued and your journey towards self-discovery and growth is supported. I’m Alessandra, a compassionate Brazilian therapist with a deep commitment to embracing the full spectrum of human diversity—whether it’s age, gender, sexual identity, belief systems, abilities, ethnicity, or cultural background. In my practice, I approach every client with an open heart and mind, free from preconceptions, ensuring that you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

Training, Qualification ad Experience

I am a qualified counsellor Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and bring a comprehensive educational background and extensive experience to my practice. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and a Master’s in Psychosynthesis Psychology, and I am currently completing the final year of a master's in occupational therapy. This diverse academic foundation equips me with a broad and integrative understanding of psychological and therapeutic principles.

Since 2017, I have been actively working in various settings, including education, charities, and NHS environments. This rich experience has not only deepened my expertise but also enhanced my ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams and diverse communities. My background in these fields has significantly enriched my knowledge and skills, allowing me to offer a well-rounded and informed approach to therapy.

My Approach

Central to my therapeutic approach is Psychosynthesis, a powerful and integrative method that goes beyond traditional therapy. This approach considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—helping you explore the deeper layers of your identity, uncover your life’s purpose, and tap into your full potential. Whether you're wrestling with internal conflicts, navigating life transitions, or seeking greater self-awareness, Psychosynthesis offers a pathway to a more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling life.

First session

Before our first session, I'll send you a questionnaire to gather some background information and understand the issues you'd like to explore. This helps me gain a broad sense of you and your needs before we begin. Please return the completed questionnaire at least two days before our first session, so I have time to read it.

Location

I offer therapy both in-person, at my private practice in Central and North London (Enfield Town), and online via Zoom or phone, making it accessible no matter where you are in the world. Sessions are 50 minutes long, typically conducted on a weekly basis, and can be structured as either short-term or long-term depending on your goals.

For those who feel more comfortable expressing themselves in their native language, I’m also fluent in Portuguese and offer therapy in this language.

Fees and Booking

Each fifty-minute session is priced at £70, including your initial consultation. To secure your appointment, payments are made via BACS at least 24 hours in advance. If you need to cancel, please provide at least 48 hours' notice to avoid being charged the session fee.

I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I do my best to accommodate rescheduling within the same week whenever possible. For individuals facing financial challenges, I offer a concessionary rate to ensure that therapy remains accessible.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward positive change, or if you have any questions about the process, I’m here to guide and support you. Feel free to reach out via email, and let’s begin this transformative journey together. Your path to a more confident, clear, and authentic life starts here.
