About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for considering me as your Therapist. My name is Alexander.
As a Íø±¬ÃÅ Accredited trauma informed Counselling Psychotherapist I support both adults and children (11 years and older) from all backgrounds. I offer both short-term and longer-term Person-Centred counselling depending on the specific requirements of your therapeutic needs.
You can expect a therapeutically nurturing, confidential, accepting and non-judgemental space to explore your unique and diverse experiences and feelings. I provide people in need of counselling support the space to enable constructive shifts and to facilitate meaningful change at a pace that works for you.
My training and professional focus is upon offering a Humanistic, Person-Centred approach. This means a significant emphasis is placed on the therapeutic relationship whereby you can feel supported and understood and, therefore, begin to communicate the issues that are impacting on you and your life; secure in the knowledge that you are being heard by an empathic, compassionate, non-judgmental and experienced therapist.
My professional experience has included working at the Pathways Families in Crisis Centre where I provided counselling to clients' who had experienced emotional, physical and sexual abuse.
My role as an NHS Clinician based at Mind Mate Spa has also informed my knowledge and experience in relation to supporting people living with mental health challenges.
Throughout my career I have also incorporated solution focused therapeutic tools to help support therapeutic change where needed.
I am honoured to work with a diverse range of clients from all backgrounds. This includes working with student counsellors, elderly clients, clients from multi-cultural backgrounds, neurodivergent clients and LGBTQIA+ clients.
A rigorous ethical approach upheld by sanctioned professional standards underpins every aspect of my work as a Counselling Psychotherapist accredited by The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Practice description
I deeply value and respect the collaborative nature of therapy and if this is something that you would like to discuss further then please contact me.
I offer face-to-face counselling sessions at The Tower Clinic in Tinshill, Leeds, LS16 7AP. Please visit www.towerclinic.co.uk for further details.
The field of creativity formed a significant part of my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and continues to be an ongoing interest of mine. Having completed my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Fine Art practice at the University of Leeds, I worked at Leeds Arts University offering support to students in a creative therapeutic context.
My creative experience and knowledge enables me to invite clients with opportunities to express themselves and to emotionally process feelings and lived experiences in a creative way, because feelings and experiences can be processed in many different and subjective ways: including creatively.
My work at The Market Place (a children and young person counselling agency) has involved working with a diverse range of children and young people with different and complex presenting issues; providing short-term, longer-term, crisis and bereavement counselling. I have extensive experience of working successfully with young adults and children who are experiencing emotional distress. In this role I have incorporated creative and bespoke solution-based therapeutic counselling methods where appropriate. I have supported many children and young people in crisis to successfully work through a wide range of challenging issues.
My first session
Prior to a first session, I offer a free thirty-minute telephone discussion so that we can both decide whether a first session is appropriate for you moving forward.
During this information gathering, we can discuss how many sessions you may want and what you would like to focus on in your sessions.
This is also an opportunity to discuss how therapy works, including issues such as confidentiality and General Data Protection Regulation.
This initial consultation also allows for you to ask me any questions that you may have, as well as discussing your goals and hopes for therapy.
Once you have had a consultation, you can decide whether you would like to embark on your therapeutic journey with me as your therapist.
If you decide to book a first session, I will send you a counselling contract to read through as well as a personal information request form.
Once this has been completed we can book a day and time for our first session.
