Meet Alejandra

I am an integrative psychotherapist with experience in relational psychoanalysis. My aim is to help individuals understand the root causes of their difficulties to transform their lives in meaningful ways.

I work with clients on a wide range of issues, including: dealing with anxiety and/or depression, difficulties with pregnancy, postpartum depression, pregnancy loss, abuse (past and/or present), addiction, bereavement, and trauma, among other concerns. I appreciate how past experiences can impact present relationships and contribute to feelings of low mood, anxiety and disconnection. 

I understand how hard it can be to take the first step to start therapy, but I also know how rewarding and liberating this process can be. I believe that we grow and develop in connection with others and that the crucible for change lies within the therapeutic relationship.  To look at ourselves from another person’s perspective enables us to see ourselves in ways that we haven’t before.  A new, compassionate perspective can be transformational.

Training and Experience

I completed my undergraduate studies at Oxford and Georgetown Universities and graduated with honours. I then pursued postgraduate studies at Regent’s University, focusing on integrative counselling and psychoanalysis (Diploma in Psychotherapy & Counselling, Master in Psychotherapy & Counselling and Postgraduate Certificate in Integrative Psychotherapy).  

I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute. My research explores how hormonal changes can shape emotional experience and mood, and how these shifts are understood within psychotherapy.

I gained experience working at Help Counselling, West London Centre for Counselling, City Pregnancy Counselling and Psychotherapy, and Addiction Therapy. I have also worked in an inpatient unit for men and women with acute mental disorders such as schizophrenia and psychotic and paranoid symptoms.

Further, my experience includes working internationally for over 20 years with executives navigating professional change and/or challenging work situations. In that capacity, I was quoted by international publications such as Fortune Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, among other publications. I recognises the demands of corporate life and the implications it can have on personal well-being.

I am a flexible practitioner and can work with clients in-person or virtually, and in English or Spanish. My session price is £110 and I offer concession prices for unemployed individuals. I see my clients weekly.
