Testimonials

“Having coaching sessions with Alex really focused me whilst approaching my accreditation submission. Being encouraged to justify my thinking through her rigorous assessment ensured consistency across the whole submission and made the process interesting and engaging rather than a chore. Thank you Alex, you helped ‘me’ come through in my writing – and pass first time avoiding that dreaded re-submission process!”

Kat

“I found Alex’s support invaluable with my accreditation submission. I approached Alex once I had an initial draft, as I was struggling to know if I was ‘on the right path'. Alex gave thorough feedback, giving recognition for what was good and giving guidance on areas that needed further work in a respectful manner. We then worked together on making the necessary amendments ensuring all the criteria were met. After our work together, I felt reassured that I was submitting a piece of work that was to the best of my ability.”

Michele

"I got in touch with Alex after my BACP accreditation was deferred. I felt stuck and dejected. Alex was able to offer me a fresh perspective on my application and the deferred elements. She helped me identify what I needed to do to move forward to resubmit. I felt understood, supported and able to get past that fear of "not being good enough". Having an objective perspective, combined with Alex's experience and support was invaluable. I have since heard that I passed - phew!"

Angela

“I unfortunately experienced the dreaded resubmission. Alex helped me by providing clarity in addressing the issues raised by the BACP. Through this, I was able to clearly and concisely address the issues and was successfully accredited. Thank you so much, I really appreciated all your help.”

Caroline

"Alex’s support to help me transition into private practice has been invaluable. Her knowledge is great, but what really helped is her common sense and clear sightedness. She helped to keep me realistic and focus, giving me the benefit of many years of her own experience. I found her to be responsive to my particular situation, tailoring her support to fit around my specific issues as I needed. With gentle yet clear guidance she has helped me to identify when I was off on a flight of fancy, or just lost in the process and get back on track. As a result, I had enquiries and new clients booked in within 2 weeks of registering on directories."

Bev

"Alex is extremely passionate and knowledgeable in all matters of how to run a successful private practice. Her years of experience display this. She has been able to not only run her own private practice, but enable counsellors to achieve accreditation status with her mentoring. This support is invaluable and her passion to help others in this process is palpable. Working with Alex in peer supervision, I always feel held and supported by her as a fellow professional. Moreover, her deep insight into client work is incredibly useful. She is perceptive and also challenging, which is a great combination in supervision."

Sue

“Alex has been my supervisor for the last 4.5 years, I have an hour and half monthly supervision with Alex, according to BACP's requirements. She is very supporting, available and accessible. I feel safe in supervision which helps me to discuss my struggles, fears and seek advice. Our relationship is based on respect and acceptance, so Alex listens to me and guides me whenever needed. Our supervision continues to work well."

Mervat

“I met Alex at the very first BACP Private Practice Network Meeting in Birmingham and I have been a regular attendee over the years. I had just begun my private practice at this time and over the years I have found the network to be a great source of development for myself. Alex has been a good role model as she is an experienced private practitioner and she has created a group which caters to the newly qualified as well as experienced counsellors. Alex has fostered an environment where you feel safe and able to share any issues and concerns, ask questions and share information.”

Dippica

“I have found Alex to be highly supportive of my work. She has given me invaluable guidance as a supervisor and helped me to build my confidence working with different client issues. She brings in up to date, helpful resources and invites me to explore my process in a detailed way which I appreciate”

Kate

“I always look forward to supervision with Alex. It helps me develop a greater depth of understanding of my clients’ issues as well as practical ideas of how to work with the most challenging cases. She runs her sessions in a safe and supporting way.”

Fianna

“For the last three years it has been my pleasure and privilege to be part of a peer supervision group with Alex. During our supervision Alex brings her powerful intelligence, depth of therapeutic knowledge and vast experience to bear upon case discussions and she unfailingly and generously gives her support to each of us in the group. She has an established therapy practice and that is down to her work ethic and the fact that she has a justly earned reputation for delivering a consistent and caring service. There is much to recommend her and I have nothing but praise for her.”

Marla

“I would say Alex made the difference between sending my application and giving up. For the last couple of years I was struggling to complete the application and I gave up on multiple occasions. With Alex’s gentle guidance and support I managed to complete it and send it in and I have passed on the first submission. I have no words to express my gratitude to Alex and working with her was for me an empowering experience. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone that goes through this process. Accreditation is achievable with the right support in place, and Alex is the right person to hold your hand through this process that can feel daunting."

Gianina

“ The Complete Guide is the equivalent of the Holy Bible. It is so clear and well written. I’m so pleased that I bought it. It gave me the confidence to put my practice into words."

Michelle

"Alex was brilliant and took all my stress away as soon as we first spoke. I felt I had a safety blanket having someone experienced help me with my work. The service was all that I had hoped for and more. Supportive, extremely efficient and I felt completely held through the process."

Lizzie

"I was very frustrated, confused and unsure about how to approach the resubmission. Your support and guidance were very reassuring and helped me to feel more confident with my application."

Mila

“ The service was exactly what was promised on the website. The feedback I received was honest, informative and always constructive. I found the Complete Guide invaluable to refer to as I was completing the form. I felt Alex saw me through from beginning to end and really had my back. Thank you for making it a straightforward and even enjoyable process!”

Claire

“Made the process clear and easy to understand and Alex is very patient and kind. Thank you so much for supporting me on my journey. I feel I have learned so much through the support you have given me. 100% worth every penny."

Zoe

“The service was great, efficient and the feedback was easy to read and understand. Without it I may not have passed my accreditation first time around."

Stevie

“The feedback I got made sense, was easy to follow and I could see how this would strengthen my application. It really helped me to feel more confident in what I was saying and stay motivated to get my application finished.”

Abi

“I didn’t know what to expect but the support and understanding was there from the beginning. It was important to me not to feel judged even when I was doubting myself. Sometimes just having someone to believe in you helps to give you the confidence to believe in yourself."
