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
