Alexandra Stevenson

Psychodynamic Counsellor MBACP

I’m a qualified and experienced psychodynamic counsellor working with women and women’s issues.

I qualified as a counsellor following a career in nutrition, where I specialised in supporting women with issues around food, eating and body image. This remains an area of particular interest and expertise in my counselling practice.

I support women to overcome difficulties with emotional eating, binge eating and a conflicted relationship with food, eating and body image. The focus of the work is on creating lasting change, compassionate self-care and a naturally healthy, and peaceful relationship with food and body.

I approach this work from a weight-neutral perspective. This means that I offer a space which is equitable and respectful for women of all shapes and sizes.

In addition to this specialist area, I also support women with:

• Relationship and family issues
• Low self-esteem and confidence issues
• Anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns
• Life transitions such as motherhood, menopause and aging
• Feeling stuck or unfulfilled in life
• Loss, grief and bereavement
• Personal growth, self-development and empowerment.

What is psychodynamic counselling?

The psychodynamic approach simply means that we will explore the root cause of any issues you bring to counselling. We’ll look at how your history and past relationships have shaped who you are today and may have contributed to the difficulties you may be experiencing now.

My aim is to create a safe, inclusive and confidential space for women to explore whatever issues they are facing, which may be preventing them from achieving a more fulfilling, empowered and authentic life.
