Alexia Kendall, BACP

Alexia Kendall is a UK-based integrative psychotherapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and life transitions. With nine years of experience, she works with adults, young people aged 14-25, university students and couples, offering both short-term and longer-term work tailored to each individual’s needs.

She holds a BA (Hons) degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy - an undergraduate honours qualification - and is an accredited member of the BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her clinical experience covers a wide range of concerns including low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, addiction, sexual violence and abuse, domestic violence, bereavement, cancer and end-of-life issues, crisis intervention and suicide prevention, as well as sexuality and gender questions.

Alexia draws on a variety of therapies, including Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused work and Gestalt, while primarily practising from a humanistic, person-centred orientation. She believes successful therapy grows from a trusting, respectful relationship and places emphasis on active listening, empathy and reflective dialogue.

Approaching each person as unique, Alexia uses a non-directive style that allows clients to lead at their own pace. She focuses on helping people identify options and resources, build self-worth and develop practical ways to cope and make change, offering steady support and encouragement throughout the therapeutic journey.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Alexia frequently uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood. She also works from a person-centred, humanistic perspective that prioritises empathy, acceptance and the client’s own experiences, supporting personal growth and self-understanding. Additionally, Solution-Focused techniques may be used to set clear goals and build on existing strengths to create manageable change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Alexia collaborates with each client to explore which methods feel most suitable given their needs, goals and preferences, adapting her approach over time to best support progress.

Online therapy with Alexia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or on the go, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt evidence-based methods effectively across these online formats to support meaningful change.
