About me and my therapy practice

Hello and welcome. I am Alexia, an Accredited Psychotherapist, and fellow traveller in life.

Life can be challenging at times and this can lead us to feeling lost, upset, angry, confused, overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, depressed and unsure if we can cope with everyday challenges and/or bigger decisions. Sometimes it is clear why we feel this way, for example:

financial pressures,
health concerns,
family relationships, and/or
work-related issues.

Other times it feels like these feelings can come out of nowhere.

Whether short-term or deeply entrenched, our problems can feel all absorbing, leaving us feeling stuck, depleted, with low self-esteem and decreased ability to make the most of life. In other periods, we can feel curious and want to understand better how we create our patterns in our life, why we make the decisions we do (or the ones we don’t) and/or how we build meaningful relationships. Whatever your reasons for exploring if therapy would be helpful for you, you will find a warm, non-judgemental space in our sessions together.

Who I am

I am providing counselling and psychotherapy across a range of contexts in the private and public sector, and offer short- and long-term therapy in South West London and online (via Zoom).

Experience

I have provided counselling and psychotherapy for various charities, like Mind, another charity offering counselling to women, a therapeutic community, etc.

Beyond psychotherapy, I have been working for the last 15+ years in the commercial sector as a marketing research consultant. I understand the challenges of balancing the demands at a 9-5 job with family, personal relationships and personal growth.

Qualifications

I have a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute (London, UK), validated by Middlesex University.

I am a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their codes of conduct and ethical principles.

Practice description

How I can help

I offer a warm, confidential space for us to meet and explore what may be distressing you as well as your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, aspirations, challenges and/or joys. The aim of our exploration together is to better understand yourself and how you relate to your difficulties and feelings at this point in your life. With a deeper appreciation of how you respond to situations and why, new ways to relate to yourself and others can emerge.

During our sessions, we work together to identify and get a better understanding of your patterns as we experience them together. I pay particular attention to how your present situation can be influenced by your past, and how this may be shaping our work together in the sessions. To facilitate this, I stay open to your experience in a non-judgemental way, ask questions, reflect back aspects of your life, and may offer what I experience in our sessions, so we can examine them from a different viewpoint together.

How I work

I believe we are all fundamentally unique, and thus one single theory or approach cannot work for everyone. I work in an integrative way, bringing together my values and a range of theories to best meet your personal aims and growth. From the start, we can discuss your aims and how we may move towards them together. Our meetings occur at the same time every week either for an agreed period, or on an open-ended basis with a regular review.

My first session

Our first session

If you are thinking about starting therapy, why not contact me to arrange an initial session?

In this session we can have the opportunity to:

start exploring what has brought you to this moment in your life,
experience what it is like to be talking to each other, and
asking any questions you may have.

We can then decide if we would like to work together and, if appropriate, agree a regular day and time to meet.
