Alex Monteith

As an Integrative counsellor, I use a variety of different theories and approaches to counselling with my clients. I will be by your side whilst you explore your issues, helping you examine your thoughts, through gently challenging and supporting you. 

I am here to offer you empathy, acceptance and care as you explore yourself and the world around you. I am interested in you as an individual, how you think and feel, and I am here to try to understand the world through your eyes. My approach to you is also relational, by having a conversation of what you're feeling being here in this space, with me as well as the other feelings that are co-existing within the therapeutic relationship.   

As a counsellor, I am not here to advise you on what to do, or how to be, but to simply accept you as you are. 

I work with many different clients, from a variety of backgrounds, sexualities, and gender identities. I also have my own lived experience of being non-binary, trans and having a sexuality outside of the typical "norm" of society. I have had training around kink/BDSM and non-monogamy and welcome individual clients who wish to bring this to sessions - I am aware and affirming within the stance of safe and consensual. 

I offer both short-term (12 sessions minimum) and long-term weekly therapy which will be discussed at consultation to determine what you feel you need.
