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.

I've been working with Alex for one year (and just ended this evening) - successfully. It's been 1 year, I've set out to accomplish what I meant to do and was happy to walk the journey with him. I'm a psychologist myself so knew that I needed an art based modality so that I would not get stuck in intellectualizing ideas, talking my way out of feelings, or avoiding feeling the feelings. Alex walked a fine line between being respectful of what I knew, but also pushed me a wee bit to do what I'd signed up to do, at the same time giving me freedom to go where I needed to go even when I really didn't know what I was doing, where I was going or what I was feeling. Each session served to unblock some emotional material until it was gone. The art therapy was really powerful (to my own surprise) and unlocked many things, while restoring others. I found my answers, regained some control and found myself, I guess. Thanks for giving me myself back.
