About Alexia
Alexia Kendall is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Alexia also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication and control issues, and problems arising from separation or addiction.
She offers one-to-one work that is conversational and paced to the person. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people name what is causing distress. Alexia draws on psychotherapeutic methods to help people make sense of painful events and their responses to them.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over nearly a decade she has worked with adults, young people aged 14 to 25, university students and couples, in both short and longer-term arrangements.
In practice she mainly uses a humanistic, person-centred way of working while also drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques and Gestalt where helpful. Sessions tend to be non-directive so the person sets the pace, with the counsellor offering reflection and practical options.
People who come to her often want help to manage symptoms and to make clearer choices after big life changes. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking, and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Alexia often draws on humanistic, person-centred work and combines this with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when specific patterns of thinking and behaviour are causing distress. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also makes use of Solution-Focused techniques to identify practical next steps and build small changes. That approach is short-term and goal-oriented, useful when someone wants manageable actions to try between sessions. Decisions about which methods to use are made together, so the counsellor and client agree what fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a break from work. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when sitting on camera is difficult, while video sessions help maintain visual connection. Registered or accredited professionals will work with you to find a practical arrangement that suits your schedule and goals.
