Professional experience
Alex has worked with adults, of all ages, who have found themselves encountering experiences of anxiety; depression; trauma; relationship difficulties; sexuality; or bereavement.
He has also worked with adolescents and young adults in these same areas, being mindful of the complexities that emerge from being rooted in familiar experiences of the family while simultaneously discovering a greater sense of independence in the world.
Personal statement
Alex is a relational therapist trained in existential psychotherapy and counselling. He works collaboratively with clients to explore the difficult circumstances they face, creating a space where challenging or painful life experiences can be attended to without judgment or preconception. Through this work Alex hopes clients will discover a greater sense of agency and meaning, finding more freedom to make decisions.
Alex is interested in the ways that childhood can leave a lasting impact on how we view and respond to our adult relationships. However, he doesn’t see therapy as something that is constantly looking backwards and prefers to keep the significance of past events in balance with what it means to be living in the present moment.
