Alexia Kendall , BACP

Alexia Kendall is an integrative psychotherapist with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and nine years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples. She is an accredited member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which recognises professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy. Alexia has worked with adults, young people aged 14 to 25, university students and couples, offering both short-term and long-term support.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, relationship and communication difficulties, addiction, domestic violence, bereavement, end-of-life and hospice-related challenges, and issues connected to sexuality and identity. Her experience includes crisis intervention and work around suicide prevention.

Clinically, Alexia draws on several therapeutic modalities, including psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused work and Gestalt approaches, while primarily working from a humanistic, person-centred orientation. She emphasises a non-directive stance that allows clients to lead at their own pace and focuses on building a trusting, open relationship.

Alexia aims to create a supportive, respectful environment where active listening, empathy and reflective practice help clients explore their options and resources. Her approach is tailored to each person, reinforcing their capacity to find direction and make changes while offering steady professional support throughout the therapeutic journey.

Evidence-Based Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Alexia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour; this practical approach is often applied to issues such as anxiety, stress and depression. She also works from a person-centred, humanistic perspective which focuses on empathy, active listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions - an approach that can be particularly helpful for building self-worth and managing life changes. In some cases she incorporates Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and to encourage practical steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexia collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting her style as the work unfolds so the client feels heard and supported throughout.

Online therapy with Alexia can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions without travel, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to choose the communication method that best suits individual needs.
