Hello and welcome! I’m Alex, a Person-Centred counsellor/psychotherapist and owner of AW Talk Therapy. I am BACP registered, insured, and DBS checked.
I offer a supportive space where you can talk openly and be yourself, without feeling judged or the need to present yourself in a certain way.
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes it’s because something specific has happened, and sometimes it’s more of a feeling that things aren’t quite right. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, low, or just tired of carrying things on your own. Whatever it is, you don’t have to figure it all out before your first therapy session.
In our sessions, you can talk about whatever feels important to you, at your own pace. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear starting point. I’ll listen carefully and try to understand things from your point of view, whilst staying alongside you with honesty and empathy.
I have a particular interest in trauma and how people cope with difficult or long-term experiences. I work with sensitivity and pay attention to what feels safe for you. I also support people with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, burnout, and other challenges.
I offer sessions for adults and young people, face-to-face in Derby, as well as online or by telephone. I can work in English, Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian.
Please reach out to arrange a free 20-minute no-obligation phone consultation so we can discuss how we could work together.
