Alexander White-Huggins

I offer one-to-one, 50-minute sessions of brief/time-limited, or open-ended therapy to adults. Sessions can take place face-to-face or online via Zoom.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, which means I draw from different schools of thought (namely Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Developmental ideas). My work centres the therapeutic relationship, underpinned by the concept that “relationship is the first condition of being human” (Petruska Clarkson). No two relationships are the same and whether it's with ourselves or with others, we are always in some form of relationship - some of which can harm, while others can heal. 

I have worked with people from various backgrounds and life experiences, and carry a personal awareness of how our differences may impact our experience, perspective of the world, and relationships. I have experience of working with people whose difficulties surround sexuality, gender identity and expression, relationships, anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma, PTSD, discrimination, religion and spirituality, among other struggles. I have worked with charities offering brief and long-term counselling to adults and adolescents and have also provided counselling with organisations offering holistic support for trans and/or non-binary people (who may/may not also identify as LGBQ+). I've also worked with an organisation providing therapy for trans and/or non-binary of the global majority.

I offer a free, 20-minute initial consultation before beginning therapy, allowing you the space to ask any questions you may have and determine whether I might be someone you'd like to work with, without any pressure to proceed with therapy.
