1:1 In-Person Support for Psychotherapy & Coaching
Relational Psychotherapy, Built on Trust
Confidential, Non-Judgemental Support
We start with your current concerns, goals, and what lasting change would feel like in daily life. Close attention is paid to recurring patterns of thought, emotions, and body sensations that emerge across relationships, work and past experiences.
The deepening insight often shifts how you understand yourself and others, creating space for new choices. The therapeutic process itself becomes a vehicle for healing, where the pace of the session is guided by your sense of safety, autonomy, and curiosity.
By working together, a renewed sense of possibility emerges, challenging you to develop greater resilience and self-compassion. The aim is not to produce quick fixes, but durable changes in how you relate to yourself and the world.
Working with professional athletes in the UK demands a unique approach. The process begins with establishing trust and absolute confidentiality - your career and peace of mind depend on it.
The specific psychological demands you face areassessed, along with factors such as expectations, injury, recovery and performance anxiety.Managing stress in real time is important, and with evidence-based techniques, it is possible to instil calmness and sharpen your focus under pressure simultaneously.
Crucially, keeping the person behind the performer front and centre of mental strategies is how we create better emotional responses, leading to overall well-being: not just enhanced gameplay.
Psychological awareness can be turned into a competitive advantage. This aspect of performance psychology acknowledges your mind as your most powerful asset.
The unique psychological landscape of the group is mapped to identify shared stressors, communication patterns, and the unspoken norms that shape daily work life.
In tailored workshops, colleagues learn to recognise their own stress triggers, emotional responses and habitual thought patterns that impact contributions. Time is spent exploring what it means to communicate with clarity and empathy, what it means to manage energy, and, crucially, what connecting self-awareness to team dynamics looks and feels like.
Demonstrations are given to show how individual self-care fuels collective resilience. Those taking part in the sessions can expect to gain better tools for self-regulation and mutual understanding,and learn to recognise how psychological safety is affected within groups and working cultures.
Alex created a safe space, but a challenging one. From the first session, I never felt judged, and there was a good balance between validating my experiences and helping me understand that the past was in the past.
Alex was brilliant. It was so refreshing talking to someone genuinely trying to help people struggling in their sport.
I 100% believe in his work and suggest others get behind him too!
Before starting my sessions, I was quite unsure about the whole idea of therapy - I'd never been before. When I'm not working, my confidence really suffers, and there's an ugly side to that which I wasn't keen to face. What changed was recognising (with Alex' help) that I was making an active choice to be there.
Alex is gifted at making clients feel safe and heard. He is approachable, warm, and dedicated to his clients with an extensive background in athletic care, physical, and mental wellbeing, giving him a unique depth of understanding.
Life doesn’t come with a manual. If you’re experiencing issues you feel unprepared for and are seeking more stability and support, get in touch.

Not at all. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is equally suitable for individuals who are entirely new to therapy as it is for those with previous experience. If this is your first time, we will begin by building a foundation of trust and understanding. I will guide you through the process, explain how our sessions work, and help you become comfortable with the unique nature of therapeutic conversation.
Thankfully, this is an outdated stereotype. By listening carefully, I hope to create space for you to explore your thoughts without interruption. In my role as the therapist, I aim to get myself out of the way as much as possible, only asking questions to help develop my understanding of where you’ve been and how you relate to your present environment. The unique part of the therapy is observing the changes that take place in the dialogues between us.
Past experiences shape our core beliefs about ourselves, others, and what we deserve in relationships. By recognising these old “blueprints,” you gain the freedom to consciously update them. Understanding why you feel or act a certain way is the first step toward lasting behaviour change.
Coaching focuses on setting goals or objectives for the future, whereas in therapy, a client may also wish to focus on their past or present. It is fundamentally about optimising performance rather than creating a space for healing. In therapy, more attention is given to observing unconscious processes and communication, whereas coaching is very practical and deliberate, often involving homework for clients and the use of agendas for each session.
Another key difference would be the language of the two modalities. Coaching is a 50 / 50 collaboration, where the coach and coachee both match each other’s energy. In therapy, the therapist takes a backseat position to avoid leading or misdirecting the client.
