Alessandra’s approach to therapy is guided by a dedication to delivering exceptional care that is rooted in empathy, inclusivity, and a client-centred perspective. I use my thorough understanding of both psychotherapeutic techniques and modalities as well as women’s concerns to tackle intimacy, relationship anxieties, and attachment-based issues.

In every therapy session, she is committed to fostering a safe and judgment-free space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. Alessandra’s practice is driven by a sex-positive and culturally competent philosophy, ensuring that each individual’s unique background and identity are respected and honoured.

Alessandra is looking to help you embark on a transformative journey, and will try her best to provide you with the support and guidance you need to achieve emotional well-being and personal growth.

Rebecca Martin

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Rebecca makes time and space for you to feel comfortable to start dealing with your concerns, explore solutions, or simply vent. The goal for her counselling is that you are more able to identify patterns that can lead to psychological distress, more able to challenge your inner-critic or be comfortable verbalising your experiences to those close to you. She encourages you to try healthy habits, new routines, and grounding techniques. She shares a passion for promoting equity and diversity in her mental health work and personal life. Her goal is to support you and have you walk out feeling in a better place than when you walked in. She knows she has done her job well when you feel more sure of being able to cope when things go wrong, and when you have found what works for you.

She aims to help you explore your concerns, feelings, worldview, habits, behaviour and thoughts. Through this, you will realise your own abilities and independence to cope better with your current and future concerns.

Rebecca understands it can be difficult to reach out to a new psychotherapist for the first time whether you’ve been through therapy before or not! So she wants to assure you she brings no judgement to your shared counselling sessions. Together, Rebecca will work with you through these feelings and experiences together.
