Alexia Kendall, BACP

Alexia Kendall offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes such as midlife transitions. She speaks plainly and listens without judgement, helping people who feel confused, overwhelmed or stuck. Her approach aims to make small steps feel manageable when life feels chaotic.

Alexia has nine years' experience working with individuals, young people aged 14–25, university students and couples. She holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a BACP member. Her background includes work with bereavement, trauma, addiction, domestic violence, cancer and end-of-life issues.

She uses a blend of humanistic and person-centred ways of working. Sessions focus on building trust, listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions in their own time. Alexia adapts the approach to each person's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.

In practical terms she offers active listening, reflective feedback and gentle challenge when useful. Conversations cover present difficulties and relevant past experiences to help make sense of recurring patterns. The aim is to increase self-worth, improve communication and open options for change.

People who come to Alexia can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space. She encourages clients to set the pace and to explore choices about relationships, attachment, control issues, body image, commitment and forgiveness. Work can also address practical coping with stress, addiction and illness.

Her style is steady and empathetic, focused on helping people regain a sense of direction. If someone is unsure whether therapy might help, Alexia supports initial steps and a clear plan for moving forward.

Approaches that guide online work

Alexia draws on clear, evidence-informed ways of working to help people manage distress. Person-centred work focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client to lead the pace of change; it suits people who need space to make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive approaches look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and help people test different responses, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping habits. Solution-focused ideas concentrate on small, practical steps and on noticing what is already working, which helps when someone wants focused, goal-oriented support.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alexia works collaboratively to test what helps most, and she adjusts methods as needs and goals become clearer. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, study and family life, and reducing travel time so it is easier to keep regular appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. In general, online work can allow shorter check-ins, more frequent reviews and easier access for people juggling multiple commitments.
