Alexia Kendall

Alexia Kendall is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Alexia also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, addiction, relationship breakdown and end-of-life matters.

Alexia trained with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on several therapeutic methods while mainly working from a humanistic and person-centred stance. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping people consider practical options for change.

In practice she uses psychotherapeutic conversations alongside approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused work and Gestalt techniques when they suit the client. Her way of working is non-directive - she lets the client lead while offering questions and reflections that can clarify patterns and choices. The emphasis is on building a trusting therapeutic relationship first.

Alexia describes her role as helping people explore past and current issues at a pace that feels manageable. She offers both shorter term and longer term work and uses active listening and reflective feedback to help people notice what matters to them and where they might make small changes.

Many people come to her feeling stuck after a life change or overwhelmed by ongoing pressure. In those conversations she helps identify options and resources, and supports practical steps for handling stress, grief or relationship difficulties.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Alexia combines humanistic, person-centred work with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused practice. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters and to support their own problem solving. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and can help when anxiety or low mood create unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused work concentrates on identifying small, practical steps and recent exceptions to the problem to build momentum for change.

Deciding which approaches to use is part of the early work in therapy. Alexia will discuss options with clients and together they will choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not state specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit conversations into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions to address complex issues such as trauma or grief. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of arrangements; Alexia will clarify practical options when you arrange the first appointment.
