Alexandra Noël
About the Therapist
My name is Alexandra. I am a proud Black non-binary lesbian womxn with Epilepsy, an invisible disability. As somebody who holds intersectional identities, and faces oppression on a daily basis, I offer a safe space for my clients to be their true selves to process and explore their experiences and issues.
I have worked as an integrative counsellor and therapist for 3 years in a variety of counselling services including CliniQ and Mind, and in private practice.
I am currently completing my Advanced Diploma in integrative psychotherapy. I completed an MSc in Mental Health Psychology during which time I worked in local Mind community services.
I have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, members of the Global Majority and neurodiverse individuals. Currently I work exclusively in these communities working. I have experience working with complex trauma, anxiety; depression; domestic abuse; childhood trauma and sexual abuse; gender and sexual identity; transphobia; homophobia; inter and trans-generational trauma; racism, cultural and religious oppression; living with disability and long-term/ chronic illnesses.
I believe everybody deserves therapy, especially if you are Black, a person of Colour, disabled, and identify as LGBTQIA+. And even more so if you hold those identities intersectionally.

I work from an integrative perspective because I believe that no two human beings are the same, and therefore one therapeutic approach cannot work for all. I am trained and have extensive experience working with GSRD clients.
From an existential perspective, I work with my clients non-judgementally and empathically, not assuming anything about their experiences while making space for them to find their life meaning.
From a psychoanalytic and humanistic perspective, I use attachment theory to understand how my client’s early trauma may have affected their relationships with others. I feel the therapeutic relationship is important for modelling healthy and secure attachments in the here-and-now.
From a transpersonal and embodied perspective, I like to work as two human bodies in a room together, carrying generations of life experience and oppression. I am also a published writer and use poet and prose as a form of expression and narrative therapy.
