Why I Do This Work
I work with overthinkers, deep feelers, and emotionally exhausted people, because I’ve been there too.
I spent years feeling anxious, always feeling stuck in my head. Looping the same thoughts, fears, and what-ifs. I was terrified of the future, and frustrated that I couldn’t think my way out of how I was feeling.
I saw therapist after therapist. Some were kind, some well-meaning, but so many made me feel like just another box to tick.
I’d leave with reframing worksheets and journal reflections like “Is this thought rational?”.
But deep down, I wasn’t looking for worksheets or being told to ‘reframe’ my thoughts, I was desperate for relief.
For real connection. For someone to actually see me.
That frustration is what led me to train as a therapist.
Now, I offer the kind of space I wish I’d had:
Warm, non-judgmental, emotionally attuned and human. A space where we don’t just try to fix the thoughts, but gently explore the feelings and stories underneath them.
Because real healing isn’t about doing more mental gymnastics & homework.
It’s about coming back home to yourself, with compassion.
If any of this resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s chat.
Online Therapist & Recovered Overthinker
Hi! I’m Alex
-
Outdoors in nature, playing sport (football or padel), finding the best coffee spots, travelling somewhere new, or tucked up with a good novel.
But more than anything, you’ll find me chasing the depth in everyday life. I’m a sucker for the quiet, tender moments that make you feel something. The small pauses. The honest conversations. The feeling of being moved, even if you can’t quite explain why. It’s that same love for meaning and emotional richness that shapes how I work as a therapist!
-
Overthinkers often choose to work with me because I speak their language, the loops, the mental rehearsals, the scanning for the why, the what if, the what now. I don’t just understand it, I’ve lived it!
I don’t just help you manage the symptoms. Together, we get to the emotional root of the racing thoughts and inner noise, the part of you that’s always analysing in the hope it might finally bring peace.
My approach is gentle and explorative. We’ll slow down enough to process what’s been carried for too long, and reconnect you with the parts of yourself that have been lost in the process.
This is how the circling quietens, not through control, but through connection.

It is possible to live a life that feels calm on the inside, not just put-together on the outside
It is possible to live a life that doesn’t revolve around fixing, analysing, or self-managing
It is possible to live a life that allows you to feel safe, feeling your emotions without dissecting, analysing and over explaining them
I know this, because I’ve seen it happen, not overnight, but gently, consistently, through connection, safety, and space to feel what’s been held in for too long.
