The Mindful Therapist — Psychotherapist in London, England

When I first got in touch with Alex over 4 months ago, I was struggling with anxiety, mild panic attacks and depression. I was not connected to myself at all and I didn’t know who I really was and I doubted every single thing about what I thought I wanted, what I knew, basically I had no real sense of self. Overthinking was an everyday norm for me and I never prioritised myself in a way that served me best. By working with Alex, I learnt how to reconnect with the real, core self, the true me, and how to notice when parts of me are popping up trying to take over control. He held a really safe space for me to explore these parts, even if I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. He’s very patient, understanding and he truly cares. He creates a space where you have no choice but to get to know and learn how to love yourself and all parts of you. IFS has been life changing for me. Alex is also really good at mixing IFS with different techniques, he has a lot of other material to share outside of sessions, he teaches mindfulness and various breathing techniques which compliment IFS really well. I’m very grateful to be able to work with Alex and I look forward to continuing my personal growth journey with him in my corner.

Alex has cured my anxious attachment through IFS, thank God! From the first session I felt so much better as he understood exactly what was going on internally and gave me hope that I would feel better through working on my parts/traumatic memories. Now 5 months later I feel like a different person and I am no longer anxious which I didn’t think was possible. I recommend Alex/IFS to everybody I know as I truly feel it’s the only way to heal 😇 Alex is kind, welcoming and comforting which helped my nervousness to try IFS.

In just three months of working with Alex, I made more progress in healing than in years of CBT therapy. Internal Family Systems therapy is a powerful approach that enables uncovering and releasing past traumatic events. It allowed me to achieve inner harmony, which had a profoundly positive effect on how I handle the challenges I face at the moment, as well as improving my relationships with the people around me. His creative approach of supporting IFS therapy work with mindfulness practices allows for achieving change even faster. As a person, Alex is warm, empathetic, and supportive. Thank you 🧡💚

Alex is a living legend… I started seeing Alex about a year ago for severe anxiety and depression. I was lost in terms of my career and personal life. I did not feel joy like I used to and I felt seriously lost. Alex and I built up a strong rapport due to his attentive, compassionate and kind nature. Alex has made it easy for me to open up to him, unlikely any other therapist I have had before. Alex has employed various techniques such as; hypnosis, mindfulness meditations, SKY Breath Meditation and IFS (Internal Family System) to help me with my anxiety, depression and addictions. I was sceptical about hypnosis but after a couple of sessions with Alex, I felt more in control of my emotions, my mind ability to conquer my addictions. Since seeing Alex, my anxiety and depression have been reduced dramatically and I now have the tools to regulate my emotions. Alex is consistent, knowledgeable, supportive and quite brilliant - couldn’t recommend him more!!!

Kind and passionate about his job, Alex has been integral to my healing. He’s supported me through the toughest of times, and I genuinely believe I wouldn’t be here without him! Therapy sessions feel safe and comfortable, allowing me to share anything I need to. IFS has helped gain awareness of my past to eventually have freedom from it, and live through a whole new perspective. His approach is a perfect balance of compassion, professionalism and honesty. Alex truly cares about helping people overcome their battles. Diagnosed with depression, anxiety, C-PTSD and ADHD and having seen 4 therapists previously, I thought there was no hope. However, through regular therapy, I feel I’ve overcome and learnt to manage these conditions. The invaluable techniques and advice I’ve received, will be forever carried with me. I honestly cannot thank Alex enough for all he’s done!

My first Interaction with Alex, was over the telephone. Alex was so welcoming, professional and I felt none judged. Alex was kind and caring and I felt really heard, listened to and understood. Our very first, face to face meeting was nice. At the start, I felt nervous and panicked, but as soon as I saw and meet Alex face to face, I felt at ease. Alex has the most beautiful calming voice, I have ever heard. I felt really calm and in a safe space and as the appointment went on, I felt more and more comfortable and at ease. Alex working style is very unique, personal, to each and everyone's personal needs. Alex never pushes you and it is always, at your own pace. Alex mixes the sessions up, of treatment sessions and meditation. I really like that, as it is a very deep, profound experience, that I have never ever experienced in my life. Alex has changed my life, in many ways and I would not be without him now. He is the best therapist around. Alex is a very special man and an amazing person and his voice is special and unique. I suffer from many issues, one of them is binge eating. Alex has changed my way of thinking and stopped binge eating, I am feeling so much better and losing weight. Alex also helped me through some really deep. painful childhood issues. We still have a long way to go, but I feel a change in my thought process. And I have changed for the better. Thank you Alex from the bottom of my heart Gina x~ London

Highly recommend!! I had 1 session of Sky Breath and 3 sessions of IFS and Mindfulness with Alex. These methods are so unique and a beautiful way to explore our inner landscape / subconscious loops, and Alex guides in a way that feels safe and comforting. I’m still coming to terms with how much I’ve gained from these sessions and the impact it’s had on my everyday life. Full of gratitude!

Working with Alex has been nothing short of a transformational experience, and my words may not fully capture the depth and breadth of my journey. Before meeting Alex, the concept of therapy felt abstract, elusive, almost mystical. Yet, in the span of a few sessions, Alex enabled me to overcome several issues I was facing. Right from our first session, Alex's warmth, understanding, and sheer expertise were palpable. His guidance did not come across as mere advice from a professional but as thoughtful insights from someone who genuinely cared about my well-being. I highly recommend Alex to anyone embarking on a journey to understand themselves better, overcome anxieties, or simply to find more peace in their everyday life. Thanks Alex, John.

Alex 'The Mindful Therapist' has been providing mindfulness tools to NSPCC staff and volunteers that have been so helpful and so well received. As I'm someone who has just returned to work from being on maternity leave, his offer of support couldn't have come at a better time. I found his Road to Relaxation session so beneficial and felt thoroughly and deeply relaxed, something that I haven't felt for some time! Highly recommend.

Having done a bit of research and tried a few other forms of therapy, I was interested in trying mindfulness based cognitive therapy and came across Alex. The combination of hypnotherapy over the first few weeks to help to calm down with the following mindfulness training has been life changing - it's very much a case of having to put the work in, but despite having only just finished the course I can clearly notice the difference between weeks where I keep up with the practice and ones where I'm more lax. Alex himself is a really personable guy and it's enjoyable to work through it with him. It's hard work sometimes, but you get out what you put in and ultimately I feel confident now that I have a load of tools to use both on a consistent basis and as and when I need them.
