I'm Alec, an Integrative Psychotherapist working in London and online. Until we work them through, past experiences can keep us feeling stuck, repeating old patterns and limiting who we can be. I offer a warm, safe and supportive space where we can begin to talk about your present challenges, identify and work on patterns that might be causing you difficulty, and ultimately, help you to develop new and more fulfilling ways of being in the world.

Talking through problems is a good thing to do, but sometimes we know that those closest to us aren’t necessarily the easiest or best to hold all that we are thinking and feeling. Therapy can fill that space within a context of safety, trust and empathy. I am a qualified integrative therapist with experience of working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. For me, the key is in ensuring that you feel heard and understood so that in turn, you can discern the right steps forward that you want to make in your own life.

If you are reading this then you probably have a feeling that talking to someone right now is important. Therapy is a way to explore what may seem difficult in your life at this point. You may not even know what it is that feels 'off' and that's ok; therapy can be used to explore that sense of unease, or lack of connection.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic my Psychotherapy practice has moved online, in most cases. My fee for working face-to-face - in and around the Greater London area - can be discussed. I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist with 8 years experience in the NHS and privately. I draw on different approaches, though mainly I work in an embodied and relational way. Embodied as most of our emotions and life stories are stored in our bodies and relational as I believe that as we get hurt in relationship, we also heal in relationship. I work in a non pathologising way so I won't try to fix you or treat you like you're broken. Whether you’re in crisis, feel like something's missing or simply want to enjoy a better quality of life, I aim to work with you so that you can come to better ways of understanding, being and relating.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
