Alexia Kendall, BACP

Alexia Kendall offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She introduces a calm, listening presence and aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on practical steps alongside emotional understanding.

Alexia holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a BACP member, with nine years of experience. She commonly works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, cancer and end-of-life matters, communication and commitment problems, domestic violence, addiction, guilt and shame, and family difficulties.

In sessions she uses a person-centred, humanistic stance and draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people map options they can try between meetings. The aim is to build belief in the person’s own resources while addressing immediate problems.

Alexia adapts the pace to each person and avoids pushing people through topics before they are ready. She combines active listening with practical suggestions when helpful, and supports both shorter-term coping and longer-term personal change. Her style is straightforward and respectful, with an emphasis on collaboration.

People who choose her work with someone who values equality, respect and steady emotional support. To begin, she asks people to share what they need and then helps shape a plan together. Sessions aim to be a place to think clearly and find manageable next steps.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Alexia works from a humanistic, person-centred foundation and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflection and helping someone find their own solutions; it is useful for low self-worth, life transitions and relationship concerns.

She also uses brief, practical techniques from cognitive-behavioural style approaches that help with anxiety, stress and unhelpful thinking patterns by identifying small experiments and coping steps. These techniques are about testing changes in daily life and noticing what helps.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Alexia will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods over time. Together they look at goals, preferences and what is realistic, then try things and review progress.

Confirm the exact session options before booking because the biography does not list session formats. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels too much. It also gives flexibility to schedule around work, study or medical appointments, helping people maintain continuity of care while managing other commitments.
