Alexia Kendall

Alexia Kendall offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma. She focuses on helping those who feel isolated or alone and those coping with big life changes. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental and she listens first, then helps people find practical ways forward.

Alexia holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a BACP member. She has nine years of experience working with individual clients, young people aged 14 to 25, university students and couples in both short- and long-term work. Her caseload has included relationship difficulties, addiction, domestic violence, bereavement, cancer and end-of-life concerns.

She draws on a mix of humanistic, person-centred ways of working and practical techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused methods and Gestalt ideas. In sessions she focuses on listening, reflection and helping people try small changes between meetings. The aim is to increase self-worth and personal agency rather than rush to solutions.

Alexia prefers to work at the pace the client sets. She uses empathy and careful questioning to help people consider options and cope with overwhelming feelings. Her approach also covers issues like attachment and abandonment, body image, communication and control problems.

People who choose Alexia can expect a respectful, accepting space to talk through worries. She supports practical steps for change and helps people rebuild connection and resilience over time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Alexia combines humanistic, person-centred work with practical therapeutic techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and building trust so people feel able to talk about difficult feelings and isolation. It helps when someone needs time to reflect and to be heard without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used for practical problem-solving. It looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try new ways of responding to anxiety, low mood or stress. Solution-Focused methods help set short-term goals and focus on small, achievable changes to improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, study and family commitments, or useful when travel is difficult. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins, easier access during illness or mobility limits, and different ways to pace conversations to suit everyday life.
