Alexandra Swarbrick

I am Alex, a qualified Clinical Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I am a member of both The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I offer warm, down-to-earth, compassionate talk therapy in Tonbridge, working with adults and young people.

Therapy offers us the opportunity to cultivate a kinder relationship with ourselves, aiding us in making positive changes and uncovering new insights into our behavioural patterns. It helps us navigate our personal histories and the influence of our cultural backgrounds.

At times, the reasons behind our suffering may be apparent such as a bereavement, navigating parenting difficulties, or enduring relationship breakdowns. Yet, there are moments when our emotions feel more diffuse, perhaps characterized by a sense of feeling adrift, discontented, or overwhelmed. Therapy involves exploring our feelings, paying attention to our behaviours and challenging our ways of thinking.

In turn, therapy can equip us with resources to help us deal with difficulty and enable us to assume responsibility for ourselves with a deeper and more meaningful understanding.

I can stand by you and support you in this process respectfully and empathetically.

I work in Private practice from my therapy room in North Tonbridge offering warm, down-to-earth and compassionate counselling to adults and young people over the age of eighteen.

In the first session I will ask a series of questions as a way for me to get a better understanding of what it is you want to gain from counselling and for me to assess whether I think I can help you or not. It is really important for you to find the right therapist for you.
