Online Counselling
I had online counselling with Alex and it was honestly the most positive and supportive therapeutic experience I’ve ever had. I found her approach to be genuinely warm, empathetic and person-centred, I instantly felt safe with her- Alex supported me in navigating some really challenging life experiences and emotions and I always felt heard and understood throughout my sessions. I also really enjoyed some of the integrated approaches she brought in, like polyvagal theory. I’ll definitely be returning to Alex when I need counselling in the future. Thank you so much Alex!
I feel I benefitted too by being around the animals and seeing the improvement it made to Katie.
My daughter Katie and I attended equine therapy with Alex after Katie was diagnosed with depression and psychosis.
Alex was very caring and patient and started by encouraging my daughter to groom one of the horses. This helped Katie relax and I enjoyed seeing a smile come to her face. At each session, Alex asked Katie what she wanted to do and tried to accommodate any request including meeting the other animals at the stables. Alex was always aware of any hesitancy and didn’t push Katie to do anything she didn’t want to do. With Alex’s help Katie gained confidence and has certainly benefitted from having this type of therapy. I feel I benefitted too by being around the animals and seeing the improvement it made to Katie.
There was a consistent reported improvement in mood and anxiety levels following each session.
Alex is able to provide a unique experience to those with a range of mental health difficulties, which would be especially recommended for those who find it difficult to relate to traditional therapies.
We have observed how her clients appreciated, and looked forward to, the work they undertook with Alex and the horses. There was a consistent reported improvement in mood and anxiety levels following each session.
Alex is professional and approachable, with a calm and friendly manner. She was able to tailor the sessions in response to individual needs and maintain a safe and pleasant therapeutic environment. Alex used a range of activities with the horse to explore and develop self-awareness of feelings and energy prior to each session, which provided the foundation for further work around self-regulation and relationships with others. There was a clear focus on addressing areas of development identified and effective contributions for how these skills could be consolidated between sessions.
I would highly recommend Alex.
I had some amazing equine therapy sessions with Alex. Alex has a very kind, gentle and empathic approach and being out in nature helps you work through lots of trauma. I would highly recommend Alex.
