About Alexia

Alexia Kendall works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She uses integrative, person-centred practice and has nine years' experience as an accredited BACP member.

Alexia introduces herself simply and listens without judgement. She offers a calm, non-directive way of working that lets clients lead sessions at their own pace. Sessions focus on talking through difficulties, reflecting on feelings and choosing practical next steps when needed.

Her background is in integrative counselling and psychotherapy with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on several therapeutic methods, including psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused work and Gestalt, while mainly following humanistic and person-centred principles.

Alexia has nine years' experience working with adults, people aged 14-25, university students and couples in both short- and long-term work. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addiction, domestic violence, bereavement, cancer and end-of-life matters.

In sessions she uses active listening and reflective responses to help clients increase self-worth and make considered choices. She works openly on practical options and resources rather than directing choices. Clients are encouraged to take the lead while she offers steady, respectful support.

If someone prefers to begin, they are asked to use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session. Fees vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used and how they apply to online work

Alexia uses a person-centred, humanistic way of working which focuses on listening, reflection and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This approach suits issues where building trust and exploring feelings is central, such as grief, attachment and low self-esteem.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques which look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and help people try small practical changes. CBT-style work can be useful for stress, anxiety and managing low mood. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and identify immediate steps forward, which can help with coping during big life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods with each client and agree what to try based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can suit people who prefer to be in a familiar setting or who need a session that fits around work or study commitments.
