“When I started CBT I felt emotionally very unstable. I had done “traditional” talking therapy before, which had worked in the past, but this time that approach was not helping me cope with the low mood and anxiety which had arisen in the past months with a severity I had not experienced before in my life. CBT was new to me, but in my first session with Alex I was already put at ease, feeling a sense of familiarity. As the sessions progressed, I felt understood and Alex provided the right tools to cope with and unlock the triggers. The weekly sessions slowly built my strength back up. At the end of the fourteen sessions I was pretty much back on my feet, and equipped with a toolkit to help manage my triggers in the future. I would highly recommend CBT and even more so, Alex as a therapist. She is a wonderful person and incredibly skilled therapist.”

“I really want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your work with me because truly this is the first time I can see positive direction, clarity and hope. Your professionalism and genuine care for your patients’ well-being is priceless and hugely valued.

I feel that I have come a long way to process previous traumas and am reaching a point where I no longer need to question or doubt myself and my memories of painful experiences. I am beginning to accept myself and be proud of myself.”

“I can hardly recognise myself in the person I was at the start of the year, you helped me to get back on the path and start moving in the right direction.

Forever grateful.”

“Alex has helped me become much more mindful of my thoughts and actions and the drivers behind these. I feel like I have developed a newfound perspective which will help me cope…

I liked how she was able to draw out experiences and behaviours of mine and help me find patterns and meaning, particularly highlighting the links from my past to the present, to help me challenge negative beliefs and thoughts.

I’m now able to step back and reflect on why I’m thinking or behaving a certain way and make a conscious choice about what happens next, rather than feeling like a victim to circumstances, without control. 

Alex has given me a way to structure my day and my thoughts. She has given me a toolkit for taking stock of how I’m going each day and to measure my wellbeing as well as ways to de-stress and embed healthier habits...for a healthy work-life balance, and I feel much improved.

Apart from Alex’s expertise, her interpersonal skills and sense of empathy are amazing. I had originally been assigned another therapist, and on our initial call, I thought something didn’t quite click. When I first spoke with Alex, I immediately felt comfortable and optimistic about therapy and that was proved right in our sessions. Each week really felt like a safe place for me in a very difficult time. I’m glad I decided to go with my gut on that.

Thank you, Alex. I am truly grateful for all your help. I’m in a much better place because of you.”
