Welcome, I’m Aly. 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.

I’m a registered member of the BACP and provide counselling and psychotherapy tailored to your specific needs. You may be navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, low self confidence, depression, loneliness or a new phase of life. We will work collaboratively to help you find more clarity, balance and understanding of yourself.

Alexandra Barrett MBACP Counsellor

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
  • Life transitions
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Communication issues
  • Grief and loss
  • Establishing boundaries

Choosing a counsellor is an important decision. If you would like to explore working together, please get in touch today to arrange an introductory call.
