Alex Hayes

I currently have availability in person and online Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays. My hours are 9-6pm, as well as later on Monday evenings. 

I work with clients seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and a wide variety of neurodiversity as well as working with a variety of different addictive and problematic behaviours, including substance and alcohol misuse, gambling addiction and eating disorders.

Using a humanistic approach, I draw on a range of counselling methods including  Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy in order to help my clients in a way that I myself was helped by others.

I am a BACP registered counsellor with several years of experience working in in counselling centres, addiction treatment settings, and private practice in Cape Town, Belgium, and London. Working from a person-centred, humanistic standpoint, I believe in helping people to understand themselves and how the interplay of different parts within them create patterns of behaviour. I believe in creating a non-judgemental, listening space for clients to explore these patterns and in helping them to work to change the ones that aren’t working.

I offer a half hour introductory call, either phone or zoom, free of charge as an opportunity to see if we're suited and want to continue working together.
