Alexia Kendall

Alexia Kendall offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and difficulty coping with life changes. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience and approaches difficult moments with a calm, person-centred focus. Alexia aims to be a steady presence when life feels overwhelming or unclear.

She uses a humanistic, person-centred stance that lets clients lead the pace and direction of sessions. Alexia also draws on psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused work and Gestalt techniques when those methods fit a person's needs. She places emphasis on listening without judgement and reflecting what she hears to help people feel understood.

Her background includes working with adults, young people aged 14 to 25, university students and couples, across both short and longer-term work. Over nine years she has supported people facing issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, domestic violence, bereavement, cancer and terminal illness.

In sessions she helps people name what is happening, look at practical options and find small steps forward. Alexia aims to tailor her approach to each person so the work feels relevant and achievable. She focuses on building trust and on helping people notice their strengths as they move through change.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Alexia integrates a person-centred approach that focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's lead to build trust and find personal solutions. This style suits people who need space to make sense of their feelings and to set the pace of change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try small practical experiments to reduce distress. Solution-Focused work is part of her toolkit too and centres on identifying strengths and setting short-term, achievable goals to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexia will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and comfort level, and can blend different methods over time as those needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these ways of working to match what a person needs and to keep the work practical and goal-focused.
