Picked a random psychotherapist because I was ready to seek help, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise -- a safe space for you to work out all of your issues, and all the sessions were really calm. There were days he would ask me to draw my inner thoughts, and we would decode the why's and what's of the images I drew and coloured. Very interesting sessions, and I would definitely highly recommend Alex for his professionalism, encouragement, and the comfort in confiding in him. You will definitely understand yourself more following his sessions.

As a man, I have struggled with toxic shame and guilt from childhood sexual abuse. Alex has provided me with the vocabulary and skillset to label emotions and communicate more openly with others by dropping my fake, guarded persona. This has allowed me to be vulnerable and form close relationships- something I was very bad at. Also, if you are on the fence about art therapy like I was, let me inform you that painting is like an exploration of the deepest recesses of your mind, and I am constantly surprised at the images my subconscious draws upon. And Alex is fantastic at facilitating this. If you are taking your healing seriously and want to stop old patterns of behaviour, Alex is the therapist for you. He is a blessing.

Alexander has been a blessing to me. I came to him with more questions than answers and he helped me find the way towards the solutions that always exist within ourselves. He gently guided me towards a safer path of understanding. One that I always wanted. One of truth, self compassion and compassion for others. He taught me how to let go, find my words and emotions safely and merge them gently to find a space of intimacy. I admit when I first came to him I was naive and in a state of metamorphosis in a way. My mind was a storm, and yet his ability to hold space made the process of calming it effortless. I look forward to attending future sessions.

I've been coming to Alex for almost a year now, after previously seeing several therapists who were unable to really help me with my problems (mainly depersonalisation and anxiety). He has been a lifeline for me during some of the hardest periods of my life. I come out of every one of our sessions feeling refreshed and renewed. Alex truly treats you as an individual; he listens intently and always makes sure he understands exactly what I'm trying to tell him and he shows me genuine compassion and care. I have made a lot of progress wtih Alex in the last year. I am learning to connect with other people and myself. I am learning that the bad times won't last forever and I now have a glimmer of hope for the future, which has been absent for the majority of my life. I feel extremely grateful to have found Alex as my therapist.
