ALEX STEVENS
Online consultations

One of my greatest joys is celebrating people as the extraordinary and unique individuals we each are. I offer support to clients as they work through different challenges that life can bring, focusing together to draw on strengths that already lie within each person, as well as helping them to learn new coping strategies for the difficulties they face.

 

It can take enormous courage to admit we need help and to seek this but, whatever your situation, please do reach out to someone rather than struggle on alone.

My Approach

As an integrative counsellor I work differently with every client, using a range of approaches to suit each person’s individual needs.

My work is Person-Centred, but also draws on:  

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

  • Systemic Therapy

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

  • Solutions Focused Therapy and

  • A range of creative interventions.

In therapy sessions I seek to provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings and thoughts freely. With support, you will choose the problems or goals we work on together, in the hope that you may be empowered to make the changes you wish to make in your life.

Training and Experience

My work with clients involves support with a range of mental health needs, such as abuse, trauma, addictions, bereavement, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and stress. I am happy to work with spiritual and faith issues if this is of interest. I am comfortable to work with any issue a client may bring.

I have a level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills Theory and a level 5 Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling with Heart & Mind. I am a member of the ACC and keep my knowledge and practice updated through continuing professional development. 

I also hold a Certificate in Pastoral Supervision from Spurgeon's College, a Masters in Theology and a Post Graduate Certificate in Leadership & Management, with a focus on Special & Inclusive Education.

“Alex has supported me through a truly turbulent and life-altering 18 months and I can’t begin to express how lucky I feel to have met her just at the outset of it all. Our sessions have been a much-needed safety net throughout, and her insight, understanding and kindness have been invaluable in helping me to build resilience and confidence in my decisions.”
