Alexandra Logan

I am a qualified Integrative Psychodynamic Counsellor, in the final stages of  an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy. I have been an Anglican Priest for seventeen years, which informs my understanding that human beings want and need relationships, and that many aspects of our character, resilience, and capacity to connect meaningfully with others comes from our early life experience.  When our most formative relationships didn’t go as well as anyone hoped they would, we can become more vulnerable to trauma, abuse, toxic relationships or, sometimes, just a feeling of never having quite achieved our potential. Many people enter counselling and psychotherapy feeling ‘disconnected’ from their feelings, their bodies, and the world around them. As a counsellor I want to work with you in partnership, seeking to understand what’s troubling you, and where things might have got stuck. ‘Psychodynamic’ refers to an understanding that all of us have aspects of our personalities which are ‘out of sight’ or ‘unconscious’ but which can nevertheless influence our behaviour and our decisions in a way which can be very puzzling - and sometimes very distressing. ‘Integration’ is about how you and I work together to enable you to reconnect with what has been hidden, and make peace with it. I currently work in my private practice on Wednesday mornings and Wednesday evenings, at two different locations in Lancaster. I am sometimes able to offer reduced fees for clergy, and clergy spouses, based on household income. Do get in touch if you want to find out more. I will aim to get back to you within 24 hours.
