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 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 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 therapeutic depth with spiritual insight. My work includes:
- Psychosynthesis therapy – an integrative method focused on soul, subpersonalities and inner potential. Integrative means the tools I use are tailored specifically to suit 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 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 freelancer. 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.

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
We all experience difficulties at some point in our lives which can feel overwhelming or insurmountable. They can come from a steady build up of painful patterns over months or years, or sudden changes that leave us at a loss how to cope, let alone respond. Sometimes our minds are constantly filled with critical, confusing or even futile thoughts. We are human, and have feelings. Sometimes talking is all we need, where sharing the burden, or just being heard is enough. Other times there’s a a deeper, longer journey towards healing. If your story needs to be told, I am here to listen, and to help you develop greater self-awareness so you can resolve your problems and live your fullest life. Feel free to get in touch and let’s chat. About you.

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

HOPE • POTENTIAL • TRANSFORMATION
WHAT IS PSYCHOSYNTHESIS?
Psychosynthesis is a psychology of hope, potential and transformation. Founded by Roberto Assagioli, an Italian contemporary of Freud, it illuminates the human ‘impulse towards wholeness’, a longing and striving for a more authentic and truer experience of Self. With ground-breaking concepts, the broad and open transpersonal nature of Psychosynthesis is rich with compassion and holistic insight, with a keen eye for the unique potential within each individual’s journey of self-discovery.
