Alice Bradford
Relationship Therapist in Leamington Spa

Hi, I'm Alice, a person-centred psychotherapist. I work with adult individuals and couples in 50 minute sessions operating out of therapy rooms in central Leamington Spa or online.

Does one part of you feel one way about a dilemma, but another part feels in opposition? Does this leave you confused and questioning, how can this be when I'm the same person? Do you react intensely to things without understanding why, leaving you feeling frustrated and helpless?

I can help you understand these different parts, why they have evolved and through this process, bring healing and harmony.

Feeling overwhelmed and lost can be one of the most isolating experiences, often leaving people fearing they will never feel differently. The start of change can be talking to someone. Therapy can be hard work, taking you to difficult places, but I am committed to being alongside you. If you feel ready to start, please get in touch with me to arrange an initial appointment.

It is really important you feel comfortable working with me, so I offer an initial 30 minute appointment charged at £35 for individuals and £45 for couples.

Approach to Relationship Therapy & How I Work

We are all unique and my job is to get to know you, find out what you want from therapy and for us, together, to work out what way of working is going to suit you. For example, you may want to share things you have never told anyone before and need time and space to feel heard and accepted, without judgement. Or, you may benefit from a more scientific approach where we look at your experiences and their impact from a cognitive or trauma-based perspective.

Whichever way our time together develops, I will offer you my respect, compassion and knowledge. It is my role to develop a safe and open relationship with you, so you have space to truly be yourself, with permission to feel and experience emotions, perhaps previously hidden or that you have felt are unacceptable. This can lead you to a deeper understanding of how your experiences have shaped you and lead to greater self-compassion and sense of self.

I find some clients benefit from being sent material (articles, information relevant to them) outside of session for them to read and reflect on. This is not for all clients, but I take an active role in offering this support if helpful.
