“Working with Alec to address issues which were having a significant impact on my mental health has been hugely beneficial. The environment he creates during sessions – open, non-judgemental and centred on self-compassion – enabled me to talk about things I have felt shameful about for a long period of time, and I feel like a large weight has been lifted. He also helped me to identify the reasons for some deeper-rooted anxieties and to explore a range of approaches to overcome them. I am so grateful to Alec – I feel so much lighter due to his support and am now able to treat myself with far more kindness.”

“Alec is kind and compassionate, and a non-judgemental listener. He exudes a calm and peaceful energy. Working with him has been a really valuable and helpful part of my life over the past year, he made me feel like I wasn’t alone and that we were working through problems together, and he was always on my team. As a man, it’s sometimes not very easy to cry, especially in front of others, but Alec created a space in which I was able to do so freely.”

‘After many years of refusing to even consider therapy, I finally – and somewhat reluctantly – decided to give it a try. From my very first session with Alec, his calm and non-judgemental presence immediately put me at ease and made it possible to open up about things I never realised I needed to explore.

As the months went by, I often found myself thinking, “What would Alec say?” whenever life threw its challenges my way. His thoughtful guidance and gentle perspective have stayed with me long after each session ended.

Therapy with Alec has helped me to recognise and challenge my negative thought patterns, and to approach each day with a little more kindness, balance, and positivity.
Thank you, Alec – you have truly made a lasting difference in how I see myself.’

“Thank you for everything over the last year or so. It was a pleasure getting to know you and I can honestly say that every aspect of my life has been significantly improved through the work we did. This is something I’ll be forever grateful for.”

“Alec is kind, considerate and attentive. He leads his sessions with an open mind and quickly built a rapport with me to create a safe space where I felt truly heard. Alec has a clear and thorough understanding of various different types of therapy and is especially effective at explaining complex scientific research in simple and translatable terms. Over my time spent with Alec, I experienced a conscious, positive shift in my attitude towards work, relationships and myself, particularly with regards to self-compassion. I would thoroughly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a conscientious, insightful and engaging therapist.”

“Alec created a safe and supportive environment from our very first interaction. He is compassionate and approachable and I instantly felt comfortable discussing my challenges and concerns with him.”

“I continued my sessions with Alec for over two years, only moving on once I left the country. He particularly helped me with the exploration of my formative years and how they still impact my day to day, influencing my decisions and reactions to certain situations. Alec’s professionalism, dedication and expertise have had a positive impact on my life and I am deeply grateful for our time together.”

“I would highly recommend working with Alec. I was very nervous at the thought of engaging in therapy, having suffered from anxiety and traits of OCD all my life. With Alec’s help and support he has really enabled me to better understand how my mind works and taught me some really great mechanisms to help cope and in a lot of cases overcome certain anxious or OCD moments. Thanks again to Alec for his time over the past year!”

“I really appreciate the work you’ve done with me. I’ve found it immensely rewarding, fascinating and it feels like real progress for me. I really like your kind, generous manner and always appreciate your thoughtful insights.”

“I feel like I’m doing the course partly because you’ve given me the confidence. Thank you again, you’ve been amazing. I hope I can be as effective as you one day.”

“Alec was my first experience of therapy. I felt comfortable from the start to be fully open and always found our sessions productive and interesting and often fun and warming. I felt un-judged and listened to, thank you Alec.”
