Individual Therapy
Alex offers a trauma-informed approach, combining several modalities to suit individual needs. The most important therapeutic factor to offer is a trusted, therapeutic relationship. The aim is to establish safety and stability in the relationship so that other modalities can be explored with greater confidence.
Alex primarily uses Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, with an internal family systems approach when working with people with unresolved traumas.
Acceptance and commitment therapy is an underlying framework that features regularly, and clients are encouraged to engage in mindfulness practices to maximise the healing journey.
Alex can offer cognitive-behavioral therapy strategies for sleep disorders, or behavioral limitations, and dialectical behavioral therapy strategies are often drawn upon to improve emotion regulation. Alex uses the understanding of the poly-vagal theory in understanding behavior and psychological experience, drawing on the principles to improve neuro-biological safety.
Alex can offer individual therapy for a range of psychological experiences including but not limited to:
- Adversity in life transitions
- Grief and loss
- Complex post-traumatic stress disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Dissociative disorders
- Functional Neurological disorder
- Chronic health issues
