About Alexia

Alexia Kendall is a BACP-registered counsellor and integrative psychotherapist with nine years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and young people and supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Her practice also covers concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, addiction, family problems, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Alexia uses a blend of psychotherapeutic methods and often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused approaches and Gestalt ideas alongside a person-centred stance. She prefers a non-directive way of working that invites people to lead the pace of sessions. Sessions typically focus on listening, reflection and practical options to help someone manage immediate difficulties.

She describes her work as collaborative. Conversations can cover past experiences and present-day problems, and the aim is to increase a person’s sense of self-worth and agency. Alexia pays attention to relationship patterns, attachment concerns and issues connected to health challenges such as cancer or end-of-life care.

Her approach involves active listening, gentle reflection and exploring possible steps forward rather than imposing solutions. She gives time for people to find their own answers and helps clarify choices when decisions feel overwhelming. This style suits people who want space to think alongside someone who will listen and respond.

Sessions are offered in English and operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Alexia describes her practice as integrative and draws on several evidence-based techniques to suit different concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against everyday experience, which can be useful for anxiety, guilt and low mood. Solution-Focused work looks at small, achievable steps and what is already working, helping people make gradual changes when feeling stuck.

She also uses person-centred and Gestalt influences that emphasise attentive listening and exploring present-moment experience. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative; the therapist and client decide together which methods feel helpful and adjust the plan as work continues.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, study and caring responsibilities because appointments can be taken without travel. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, which can make it simpler to maintain continuity when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals like Alexia can help adapt methods so therapeutic work fits everyday routines rather than adding extra demands.
