Alexia Kendall

Alexia Kendall offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She listens without judgement and aims to be a steady, compassionate presence when life feels overwhelming. Her approach is warm and patient, helping people to feel heard and understood before working out practical next steps.

Alexia practises from a humanistic, person-centred stance and adapts what she does to each person. She draws on psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work and Gestalt techniques where these fit a person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort, with an emphasis on building trust and clarity.

Over nine years she has worked with adults, young people aged 14-25, university students and couples, across short and longer-term work. Areas she often helps with include relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addiction, domestic violence, bereavement, cancer and end-of-life concerns, and crisis situations.

Her BACP membership is listed in the biography and reflects professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Alexia aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through past or present issues and explore options for change.

People who come to Alexia can expect a steady, non-directive style. She uses active listening, reflection and empathy to help people strengthen self-trust and identify practical steps. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a pace they are comfortable with.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Alexia draws on humanistic, person-centred practice that focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for people who want a steady, non-directive space to talk through feelings and life events.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-focused elements are used to set small achievable goals and notice what changes are already happening. Gestalt ideas may be woven in to help with awareness in the here-and-now and how past experiences show up today.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to their goals, needs and preferences in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single method.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available online or in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also make joining sessions from a familiar setting simpler for some people, while face-to-face meetings may better suit others.
