Alexia Kendall , BACP

Alexia Kendall welcomes people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and big life changes. She focuses on practical support for issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, relationship and communication problems, addiction, domestic violence, and end-of-life concerns. Alexia writes and speaks plainly, aiming to make the first steps easier for someone feeling overwhelmed.

Alexia is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience. She works with adults and young people and has supported people through bereavement, cancer, addiction and relationship breakdown. Her background includes a BA (Hons) degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and varied clinical work across short and longer-term work.

Her style is warm, non-judgemental and person-centred. Sessions let the client set the pace while she offers active listening, gentle reflection and practical ideas when needed. She values building trust so people feel able to talk openly about painful events and confusing feelings.

Alexia draws on a mix of therapeutic techniques to suit the person in front of her. She uses humanistic, integrative and person-centred ways of working and can bring in focused methods for problems such as anxiety, trauma and coping with life transitions.

People can expect a calm, respectful space to look at choices and next steps. Alexia encourages self-trust and gradual change, helping people notice small shifts that make daily life more manageable.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Alexia combines humanistic, person-centred ways of working with more focused therapeutic methods. Person-centred work focuses on building trust through listening and reflection so people feel heard and can explore their feelings. It helps with issues like low self-worth, relationship problems and emotional confusion.

She also uses evidence-based techniques that target symptoms and patterns, such as approaches that help manage anxiety and depression through practical strategies and structured exercises. These methods can support coping with trauma, stress and life transitions by teaching tools to calm distress and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Alexia will discuss options with each person, try things out and adapt the work to match goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist review progress and change direction when needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into work breaks, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep contact between sessions when that is agreed.
