Alexia Kendall

Alexia Kendall offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes such as divorce and separation. She aims to be a calm, attentive presence when everyday coping feels overwhelming. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental and she listens first, helping people find their own direction at a steady pace.

Alexia holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a BACP member. She has nine years of experience working with adults, young people aged 14 to 25, university students and couples. Her practice has included short-term and longer-term work on issues such as addiction, domestic violence, bereavement, cancer and end-of-life concerns.

She uses a humanistic, person-centred base and blends other methods to suit each person. Sessions focus on building trust, active listening and reflection so people can clarify what matters to them. Alexia encourages clients to set the pace and lead when they feel ready.

In practical terms she helps people talk through difficult feelings, consider options and practise skills to manage stress and low mood. There is attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, and body image. Work can include addressing guilt, shame and forgiving oneself or others.

Alexia frames therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people to explore past and present issues and to recognise their strengths. The aim is gradual change that fits real life, rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Alexia combines a humanistic, person-centred base with other evidence-based techniques to respond to each person’s needs. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance so people feel heard and can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It is often used for low mood, relationship difficulties and building self-worth.

She also draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practise new ways of coping. These practical steps can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing mood. Where useful, solution-focused elements help set small, achievable goals and notice progress between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, preferences and day-to-day life, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to join from locations that save commuting and help maintain continuity during life changes.
