About Alexis
Her approach is warm and person-focused. She encourages people to talk as much or as little as they prefer. Sessions are intended to feel straightforward and grounded, with attention to immediate concerns such as communication problems, anger, commitment doubts and self-esteem struggles.
Alexis brings many years of practice in health and community settings. She has worked in doctors’ surgeries, schools and an office environment, and has taken referrals from other counselling organisations. Her background includes long experience supporting people through bereavement on a grief team and work that began in childcare.
She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and describes herself as a fully qualified counsellor. Over two decades of working with deaf people have informed her practice, and she speaks American Sign Language as well as English.
People who see Alexis can expect calm, patient listening combined with practical conversation about relationship patterns, family concerns, coping with life change and the stress of everyday pressures. She aims to help people find clearer ways to communicate and cope with the issues they bring to sessions.
How Alexis' approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help sort through feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship worries.Imago Relationship Therapy looks at interaction patterns between people. It supports clearer communication and helps couples or partners notice repeating dynamics that cause conflict or distance. It is useful for commitment concerns, communication problems and relationship strain.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process and is discussed together. The counsellor will work with the client's goals and preferences to decide which approach to try and will check in to adjust course as needed. This is a collaborative process and aims to find what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. It also lets people join from different locations, which can help when coordinating schedules across time zones or for those who prefer not to travel to an appointment.
