Welcome. I’m Alexandra Bishop, a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist.
I live in North Yorkshire but work with people from many locations through video therapy. I also offer in-person sessions in York.
How I can support you:
I offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s happening for you, where you’ll be listened to and supported without judgement. Therapy can help guide us toward lasting change, offering support through life’s ups and downs.
Together we will explore and work through what you are dealing with. It could be anything such as stress or relationship issues, anxiety and low mood, or challenges from your past that still affect you today.
Therapy with me is collaborative: I’m here to support and guide you as you make sense of things, gain clarity, and move forwards. My aim is to help increase personal insight and self-awareness, helping clients feel more grounded and connected.
I support clients with depression, anxiety, phobias, grief, difficulties with emotion regulation, low motivation, and challenges in relationships. Depending on your goals, I offer both short-term therapy focused on specific issues and longer-term, open-ended therapy for deeper exploration and ongoing support.
Sessions start at £65
My approach
As a relational, person-centered therapist, I prioritise building a trusting and compassionate space, where you feel accepted and heard. This foundation allows us to explore and better understand your thoughts and feelings about yourself. I aim to cultivate self-compassion, authenticity, and deeper connections with yourself and others.
My approach is based on the importance of relationships, how we relate to others, how we see ourselves, and how those patterns can shape the way we experience life.
Qualifications
I have experience working with children, teenagers and adults. I have a BA (Hons) degree from the University of Manchester and a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Leeds. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I attend regular Supervision and stricty adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. I regularly update my skills through training and continued professional development.
Get in Touch
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and choosing the right counsellor is an important part of that process. I offer a free 20-minute phone or Zoom consultation so you can get a sense of how I work and whether it feels like a good fit. You’re welcome to share what’s bringing you to therapy, ask questions, or simply see what it might be like to work together — there’s no pressure.
