EFFECTIVE THERAPY

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

A qualified psychosynthesis counsellor London based (Farringdon and Streatham) & online.

I work in an integrative, relational way - offering a compassionate, reflective and confidential space where you can slow down, be heard, and meet yourself more honestly, with kindness.

My aim is to support you not just in managing symptoms - but in finding deeper meaning, authenticity and direction, towards change - becoming more who you are. Together we can explore patterns of what’s painful, unresolved or uncertain in your life, developing greater awareness and self-acceptance. You can experience more wholeness, clarity and a renewed inner strength, towards realising desires for serenity and change.

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 tailor the therapeutic approach, to most suit to your individual concerns and needs
  • Mindfulness and Buddhist psychology - cultivating presence, compassion, depth and self-awareness
  • Somatic and creative approaches - helping you reconnect with your body, your unique expression and your insight
  • Relational depth - building real, honest connection as the basis for change

“We are both Being and Becoming in the same breath” - Diana Whitmore

 

My Journey as a Psychosynthesis Counsellor 

Drawn to psychology, spirituality and philosophy since a young age, I come from a diverse cultural background and have practised SGI Buddhism for forty years. A creative professional within the arts, I am passionate about music, with lived 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 satisfaction and stability in their lives.

Training & Experience 

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Development - Psychosynthesis Counselling, a Level 7, 120-credit award under the auspices of the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust. The course is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I am a fully qualified, registered member of the BACP, working ethically and professionally within its framework. Alongside my therapy practice, I have extensive experience in peacework, mentoring and facilitating youth, men’s and community groups. Bringing the compassionate light of humanistic philosophy, mindfulness insight and interpersonal skills into counselling practice, I work creatively to support each individual’s journey of self-discovery.

 

What You Can Expect From Therapy With Me

Whether you’re facing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, shame, doubt 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.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

This free, informal, and totally confidential consultation lasts 15 minutes. There is no commitment, just a chance to explore potential of therapy and working together, have basic questions answered & share any concerns you may have.

THE FIRST SESSION

In person or online - understanding what has brought you to therapy: underlying feelings, troubling or overwhelming thoughts, situations or unwanted patterns causing distress etc. Beginning to tell your story, share your hopes or fears in a safe, confidential and respectful environment.

TYPE OF THERAPY

Psychosynthesis is a broad, open and hopeful system of therapy, where true self exists beyond the conflicts, dilemmas and behaviours that sap the joy out of life. I incorporate humanistic and integrative psychology, working in creative and soulful ways to suit your needs best, within a safe ethical framework. For more, see About Psychosynthesis)

 

HOW MANY SESSIONS?

How long therapy will take depends on each individual’s background, needs, budget, consistency, willingness. I can incorporate short term or long term therapy, with an initial commitment for 6 sessions normally advised. I would be happy to discuss your needs in a free initial consultation

 

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.

    WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

    Alex Golding, BACP-registered psychosynthesis counsellor, London

    You do not need to know what to say. A sentence or two is enough to begin.

    If you would rather talk before committing to anything, book a free 15-minute call. There is nothing to prepare and no obligation on either side - it is a chance to hear each other’s voice and get a sense of whether it is worth going further.

    If we decide to meet, the first session is an assessment: fifty minutes to talk about what has brought you here, and for both of us to see whether we could work well together. If I think another therapist would serve you better, I will say so.

    The way I work is psychosynthesis - a depth approach that takes the whole of you seriously, including the parts that are hard to admit to. Fees are set out on the rates page, and you can book a session whenever you are ready.

    TESTIMONIALS

    FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS

    • I was finding it hard to be motivated or even to like myself. Alex brought a fresh perspective. More acceptance, permission for angry, sad or even resentful feelings - ones I didn't want to be having. It was liberating to remove the stiffling judgements, and develop a new relationship with myself, one that could tolerate vulnerability and intimacy.  I am kinder to myself and ready for the next step. L
    • 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

    WHAT IS PSYCHOSYNTHESIS?

    Psychosynthesis Therapy - Psychosynthesis Counsellor in Central London & Online - Psychosynthesis Therapy | Towards Realising Fullest Potential - Alex Golding Therapy

    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.
