Alex Pledger has been working in therapy services since 2000. Her core therapy training is integrative (person-centred, CBT and psychodynamic). Over the years, with much accumulated CPD training and development she now offers therapy, coaching, clinical supervision, private practice and and accreditation mentoring to clients and therapists.
Alex has been working in private practice since qualifying in 2005. She set up her own practice straight after qualifying and it has grown and evolved along with her skills and experience. She has worked in multiple settings including mental health rehab, charities, NHS, corporate settings, with EAPs and insurance providers (BUPA, Axa, Vita etc). For her supervision and mentoring work she brings over 20 years’ of clinical and practical experience.
She has a diverse group of regular supervisees and mentees who come for support. Her specialism (and passion) is working with therapists in private practice. She works with therapists just starting out in their private practice, helping them set up an ethical, professional and sustainable business but she also helps more experienced private practitioners to develop and grow their practice in new ways.
Following on from peer requests, she started offering accreditation support in 2020. She has supported hundreds of therapists through the accreditation process since then and developed e-books guidance which many applicants have said was enough to help them pass first time.
She works with many supervisees from different modalities and working settings. Her blended supervision combines key areas which many therapists need to move their career forward – clinical growth, working towards qualifications and accreditation and/or developing a private practice.
Sometimes all we need is to find the right someone who can really support our growth and development.
I have found a treasure in Alex , her support starting my accreditation was second to none . Being a therapist can be lonely and finding support in Alex was lovely. What we do for our clients all the time we often take for granted , so receiving the same from Alex was an amazing experience. Such a good listener, very calm , sensitive and non judgemental. Alex created a space where I could share my fears, gain confidence and be encouraged and excited to complete my accreditation , something I had been putting off. Thank you.
I felt fully empowered by the experience of working with my private practice, I was able to focus on my input without nagging doubts at the back of my mind second guessing if my approach was correct. Thankfully My Private Practice came to my rescue more than once and motivated me to share more of my skills whilst submitting my work. Forever grateful.
Alex is an excellent coach and I am grateful for our time together. I would recommend her to any therapist that has put the time in to meet the BACPs exacting accreditation requirements but is concerned about the application process. People who hire her will not be disappointed.
