Often, it's in times of uncertainty, or emotional pain - when familiar ways no longer work and the path ahead feels unclear - that we're motivated to understand ourselves more deeply. Our work together offers a space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your true self - a chance to honour your soul's calling for meaningul change. I would be honoured to support you on this journey towards healing, inner wholeness and self-discovery.

ABOUT ALEX
Hello, I’m Alex
I’m a qualified Psychosynthesis counsellor London based (Farringdon, London Bridge) & online. I work in an integrative, relational way — offering a safe, reflective and confidential space where you can slow down, be heard, and meet yourself more honestly and compassionately.
I aim to support you not just in managing symptoms — but in finding deeper meaning, authenticity and direction. Together we can explore patterns of what’s painful, unresolved or uncertain in your life, and help you move toward wholeness, clarity and inner strength.
My Approach as a Psychosynthesis Therapist
I draw on a humanistic and transpersonal perspective, combining psychotherapeutic depth with spiritual insight. My work includes:
- Psychosynthesis therapy – an integrative method focused on soul, subpersonalities and inner potential. Integrative means I use whaterver are most suited to your individual needs.
- Mindfulness and Buddhist psychology – cultivating presence, compassion and self-awareness
- Somatic and creative approaches – helping you reconnect with the body, expression and insight
- Relational depth – building real, honest connection as the basis for change
My Journey as a Psychosynthesis Counsellor London Based Practitioner
I’ve been drawn to psychology, spirituality and philosophy from a young age, come from a diverse cultural background and have practiced SGI Buddhism for over 30 years. A creative professional within the arts, I am passionate about music, having direct experience of many sides of the arts industry as a self-employed producer. I work too with creatives who wish to overcome doubts, mine their true voice, and begin to thrive with greater satistfaction and stability in their lives. I love working with young people, men, or anyone wishing to further develop themselves and overcome blocks in their life.

Whether you’re facing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, shame or existential questions—you’re welcome here as you are. Therapy is a most rewarding path to healing—and anyone can begin. This brave journey is one you fully deserve. My deepest wish is to accompany you on it.

YOUR FEELINGS MATTER
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
— Carl Rogers
When we can accept our mistakes as part of who we are, without condemnation, we free ourselves to grow and transform.
Guilt or shame often arises when we fail to live in alignment with our true selves, but by practicing self-compassion and self-forgiveness, we begin to bridge the gap between who we are and who we are striving to become. Therapy helps us to ‘trust the totality’ of ourselves.

TALK WITH SOMEONE
You're Not Alone
Talk
Maybe life’s been wearing you down for a while now. Or something shifted recently, and it’s left you feeling unsteady — like you’re not quite sure who you are in the middle of it all. Maybe your mind won’t quiet down, or you’ve started wondering if you’re the only one who feels this way.You’re not.
You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to hide how hard it’s been. Often just saying things out loud begins to bring relief. Other times, it’s about untangling the deeper knots and learning how to move forward with more clarity and compassion for yourself. If you feel ready to talk, I’m here — not to judge or fix you, but to listen and walk alongside you. Let’s start with your story.

TESTIMONIALS
FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS
I got much needed, clearer perspective from seeing Alex about some troubling events that took place in my life. I felt understood, and able to share my pain. Having developed the confidence to put healthier boundaries in place, my life and relationships are improving to the degree I have learnt to treasure myself. I may not be perfect, but I can be me, and that's enough! 🙂 A- I am forever grateful for doing this work with Alex, who compassionately and patiently guided me through a profound crisis. In the process I came to understand myself, and accept myself and most crucially, forgive myself. It's through our work that I could eventually and happily move on. I feel better equipped now to deal with what life throws at me. Thank you! D
- Thank you so much for your support, kindness and encouragement over the past 12 months. I cannot thank you enough for the difference you have made. H
What a massive difference to my mental wellbeing! I feel happier, more confident and understand myself so much more. When I began, I was suffering from anxiety, with panic attacks that now have completely gone. My overwhelming sadness receded. I can be more fully who I actually am, without having to apologise, catastrophise or worry what others are thinking. I feel a deeper sense of belonging the less i try to fit in. Therapy makes a difference! T

THE SOUL PATH
‘…to feel existence; not to overcome life’s struggles and anxieties, but to know life first hand. To exist fully in context.’
(Thomas Moore)
PURE SELF
‘We are both being and becoming in the same breath’
(Diana Whitmore)
CONNECTION
‘To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour’ (William Blake)
HOPE • POTENTIAL • TRANSFORMATION
WHAT IS PSYCHOSYNTHESIS?
Psychosynthesis is a psychology of hope, growth, and becoming. Rooted in the work of Roberto Assagioli, it sees each of us as more than a bundle of problems — but as whole, creative beings with an innate pull toward meaning, purpose, and deeper connection with our true Self. It honours both our struggles and our highest potential, offering a compassionate path through life’s challenges, grounded in soul and spirit.
In my practice, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, gently shaped to meet you where you are. My background in integrative and humanistic therapy is supported by years of spiritual practice and leadership in SGI, giving me a deep appreciation for group dynamics and the inner life — its complexity, its beauty, and its ability to transform. Whether you’re facing personal pain, spiritual questions, feelings of otherness or simply feel called to live more fully and freely, I’m here to walk alongside you.
