Alexandra Barrett
Counselling & Psychotherapy in Ruislip and Online
I’m Aly, a registered member of the BACP, offering counselling tailored to your specific needs. You may be navigating anxiety, low self confidence, depression, overwhelm, loneliness or a new phase of life. We will work collaboratively to help you find more clarity, acceptance and understanding of yourself.
I offer a confidential space where you can explore whatever feels difficult, at your own pace. Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, particularly if you’re used to managing things alone. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to say or where to begin. I offer a warm, accepting space where you can simply start from wherever you are. You’re welcome to arrange an initial consultation to see whether working together feels right for you.
Ways to work together
We can work together In-Person in Ruislip in a purpose-built therapy room close to Ruislip High Street, or Online from anywhere in the UK, from the comfort of your own home via a secure, encrypted video platform. I also offer Walk and Talk therapy.
My approach
My work is grounded in a warm, person-centred, and pluralistic framework. This means we collaborate to choose together whether or not to explore specific goals and to discuss what you would like to gain from therapy. Research shows positive outcomes for clients by working in this collaborative way. Alongside traditional talking therapy, I am able to draw on therapeutic creative tools and mindfulness where these feel helpful.
I have significant experience providing therapy for various organisations in London and in private practice, working with issues such as:
- Anxiety, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed
- Trauma, chronic stress, or burnout
- Childhood Trauma
- Low mood, depression, or feelings of loneliness
- Sexual identity
- Neurodiversity
- Relationship difficulties
- Life transitions
- Communication issues
- Grief and loss
- Establishing boundaries
