Alexander White-Huggins

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and understandably, many clients I’ve seen have expressed hope for a solution or quick fix to their problems; but the unpredictability of life means that challenges are inevitable. Although I can’t promise a quick fix, I can offer you the opportunity to unpack and explore these difficulties and help better equip you to manage life’s challenges. My therapeutic approach is integrative and relational, drawing primarily from humanistic and psychodynamic schools of thought and grounded in the concept that no two relationships are the same and whether it’s with ourselves or with others, we are always in some form of relationship.

MSc Therapeutic Counselling

I know first-hand that finding a therapist you’re comfortable with can be difficult, so I offer a free, 30-minute initial consultation before starting therapy. This is to allow you the space to determine whether I might be someone you’d like to work with, without any pressure to proceed with counselling. This meeting also provides you with the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and enables me to gain some understanding of your unique needs alongside what hopes and expectations you may hold for therapy.

I have worked with people from various backgrounds and life experiences, and carry a personal awareness of how our differences may impact our experience, perspective of the world, and relationships. I have extensive experience of working with clients whose difficulties surround sexuality, gender identity and expression, relationships difficulties, anxiety, depression, abuse, discrimination, religion and spirituality, among other struggles.
