TESTIMONIALS

"I had 16 sessions of CBT with Alex. The sessions were well structured to ensure we made the most of the time, and progress was assessed along the way with questionnaires. He explained ideas clearly, succinctly and always asked if I had understood. He provided a calm, supportive environment and I felt like I could trust him. I definitely learnt some valuable methods to help manage my anxiety." Anonymous

I had 8 sessions with Alex in an attempt to manage my chronic back pain better.

With success. He helped me understand the pain better, structure my day to aid pain management and gave me tools and lots of things to practically do to help.

This was an excellent experience for me with a very kind therapist. N.B

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for your support and guidance over the last couple of months. I really do feel the difference in myself between now and when we first started the sessions, and I’m grateful for all of your time and effort in getting me to this place. I’ll keep making the time to check in with myself and use all of the ideas and tools you’ve given me to continue working on everything." FT
