A 'Not-So-Quiet' Appproach to Therapy...
Practical, tangible, real-life solutions so you can actually change your life...not just talk about it.
Hey I'm Alex...
I’m far from the classic, quiet therapist. Known for my chattier demeanour, I like to help clients discover the deeper meaning behind their behaviour so they can actually change their lives, not just talk about it. If you’re looking for a therapist who isn't just going to sit there and nod their head, then we will likely be a great fit!
While gentle in my approach, my clients and I joke that I will 'poke' a little in order to elicit more self-compassion from my clients. You are struck with yourself the rest of your life so why not be a little nicer?!
Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) & Trauma
Trauma isn't just the big scary stuff that happens to us — it's also the things didn't happen. EMDR sometimes helps us get to the root of the problem through deep subconscious work. It can help to reduce the disturbance of certain memories, beliefs, and core wounds that can cause self- destructive patterns, leading us to improve our response to triggers, self-worth, internal and external perception, and other blocks so why not get right to the source!
Intuitive & Science-Based
Both intuitive and nerdy, I spend a lot of my time reading and researching for my clients so they don't have to. Who wants to spend their weekend reading an 85-page research essay? I do the heavy-lifting by breaking content down into bite-sized pieces, so that you don't have to!
