Alexia Kendall

Integrative Psychotherapist offering Individual and Couples Therapy

Life is never easy or straightforward and this stressful and pressured world, in which we live, often throws challenges at us. Sometimes we can find the strength to overcome them, but difficulties sometimes arise that leave us struggling to cope, confused and alone and not knowing which way to turn. If you are in one of those situations then help is at hand. All you need is a friendly face, someone who will listen in a non-judgemental manner and who is there to support you.

About me and my practice

My name is Alexia and I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and have my own private practice and over ten years of experience working with individual clients including adults, young people aged 14-25, University Students and couples; both on a long and short-term basis.

I believe that the key to successful counselling is building a trusting, open and honest relationship between the two of us. I provide a safe, supportive and confidential environment in which you can explore your issues, past or present and together we can work to find ways of making changes by looking at available options and resources.

Everyone is unique and so I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. I work from a non-directive approach and never rush you. I allow you to lead in your own time, emphasising my belief in you that you have the ability to find your own solutions and direction. My non-judgmental attitude, active listening and reflection skills help increase your feelings of self-worth and encourage you to learn to trust in yourself, which promotes growth and change. I employ empathy as a way of showing you that I appreciate your struggles, but never confess to understanding or knowing how you feel, because every one of you has experiences exclusive and personal to you. I believe that everyone is equal and my work ethic reflects this by treating you with respect, value and acceptance, It takes strength and courage to ask for help, but I am here to support & empower you in your journey.

Experience

My areas of expertise include Cancer and Terminal Illness, Anxiety, Low self-esteem, Stress, Depression, Relationship difficulties, Anger management, Addiction, Trauma, Sexual violence and abuse, Domestic violence, Bereavement, Suicide prevention, Crisis intervention and Sexuality/gender issues.

I have extensive knowledge and expertise in providing therapies including Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused and Gestalt, but I mainly work from a humanistic and person-centred orientation.

I mainly worked on a face-to-face basis with clients until the Pandemic hit and since then I have moved my client work online. I have my own private practice, but I also work as an Affiliate Counsellor and receive client referrals from external organisations and I also work as a Specialist Mentor with University Students.

I have extensive knowledge of working with clients diagnosed with cancer and/or their relatives and this is an area that I feel extremely passionate about.
