Integrative Counsellor

Helping young people and adults develop self-understanding, emotional resilience and confidence in who they are.

I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly about what is happening in their lives. Therapy can help with anxiety, low confidence, emotional overwhelm, trauma, school-related pressures and challenges linked to autism or ADHD.

My aim is to help each person feel heard and understood whilst developing practical ways of coping with life’s challenges.

Common areas of support

• Anxiety and panic
• Low confidence and self-esteem
• Autism and ADHD
• Emotional regulation difficulties
• Trauma and adverse life experiences
• Exam stress and school-related challenges
• Friendship and relationship difficulties
• Family change
• Life transitions

How Alexandra works

As an integrative counsellor, I tailor therapy to the individual rather than following a single approach. My work is collaborative, compassionate and practical, helping clients better understand themselves whilst developing strategies they can use in everyday life.

When working with young people, I focus on building trust and creating a safe space where they can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. This may include grounding techniques, simple breathing exercises and practical tools to help manage anxiety and build resilience.

Professional background

My interest in counselling developed whilst studying Early Childhood Education and continued through my work as a Targeted Youth Worker supporting young people and families.

Since qualifying, I have worked in schools, an NHS-funded charity and a community interest counselling service, supporting both young people and adults through a wide range of emotional and wellbeing challenges.

Sessions available: In-person and online.

Works with :Young people aged 9+, adults, parents and families.

Personal insight

As the parent of a child diagnosed with autism and ADHD, I have first-hand experience of some of the challenges, frustrations and rewards that can come with understanding neurodiversity and navigating support systems. This experience continues to inform my empathy and understanding whilst reminding me that every person’s journey is unique.
