Welcome
I’m Alexandra, a psychodynamic counsellor based in Worcestershire.
I support adults navigating periods of transition — grief and bereavement, relationship changes, identity shifts, and times when life feels unfamiliar or uncertain.
Together, we explore what’s beneath the surface: the past experiences, patterns and losses that may be shaping how you feel now.
Therapy can help you make sense of where you are, rediscover your inner resources, and move forward with more ease, confidence and meaning.
Ways we can work together
Every person’s situation is unique, so we can choose the pace and approach that feels right for you:
Psychodynamic Therapy for sustainable change
A deeper exploration of emotional patterns, relationships, attachment and the stories we carry — especially where the past is affecting how you live, love and relate now.
Grief and Loss Counselling
Support that honours the complexity of loss — whether recent or long-ago — helping you integrate grief into life with compassion and understanding.
Life Transitions and Self-Discovery
Space to pause, reflect, and re-orient during times of transformation. Together, we explore identity, purpose, and what it means to step into the next chapter of your life.
However you arrive, we work at your pace — short-term focus when needed, or longer-term depth therapy when you’re ready.
How our work helps
Counselling gives you time and space to:
• be fully seen and heard
• understand how past experiences shape the present
• tend to the places that feel stuck or painful
• reconnect with your own wisdom and direction
• find steadier ground for whatever comes next
My work is relational, gentle, and rooted in depth psychology. I hold the emotional landscape with care, while supporting you to move through it at your own pace.
Reaching out can feel like the hardest part- but it’s a brave beginning.
If you’d like to explore working together, you are warmly invited to get in touch for a free, 15 minute call.
We can talk about what you need and whether this feels like the right space for you.
