About Me
Hi, I’m Alex. I offer body-focused psychotherapy and massage in my welcoming consulting room in Waterloo SE1, central London.
I am a trainee Biodynamic Psychotherapist in my final year of UKCP-accredited professional training at the London School of Biodynamic Psychotherapy (LSBP). I am also a certified Biodynamic Massage Therapist with two years' experience, and a member of the Association of Biodynamic Massage Therapists (ABMT). I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel able to explore feelings and experiences in a supportive environment.
Biodynamic Psychotherapy is a powerful approach that helps release stuck patterns of stress and trauma from the body and mind. It combines talking therapy with touch (including various gentle and supportive massage techniques) as well as a wide variety of body-focused approaches.
I have seen in my own life how effective Biodynamic therapy can be at releasing the patterns that hold us back – patterns that can often be traced back to childhood experiences – and that prevent us from enjoying the vitality and wellness that is our birthright.
Whether you suffer from low energy, CPTSD, depression, anxiety, overwhelm, insomnia, or bodily symptoms, I hope that biodynamic psychotherapy can help you find greater wellness, peace, and happiness.
"This is the true secret of biodynamic therapy; it is a matter of letting the process emerge from the depths of the body so the emotions rise up of their own accord and are discharged. This produces an authentic transformation."
Gerda Boyesen, founder of Biodynamic Psychotherapy
What is Biodynamic Psychotherapy?
Biodynamic Psychotherapy is a unique form of psychotherapy that works with the body just as much as with the mind. It starts from a simple idea: our experiences don’t only live in our thoughts and memories. They also live in our bodies: in how we breathe, how we hold ourselves, where we carry tension, and how our nervous system responds to the world around us.
At the heart of biodynamic work is the belief that each of us has an innate capacity for wellbeing and self-regulation. Unprocessed emotions, particularly from childhood, can leave us chronically anxious, shut down, or stuck in old patterns. Biodynamic therapy gently supports the body to process and release old, stuck emotions, allowing us to access new levels of freedom, confidence, calm, wellbeing, and pleasure.
Biodynamic Psychotherapy sessions can be very varied, moving between talking, emotional expression, bodily release, and – when it feels right for you – gentle, supportive touch (including Biodynamic Massage, a unique form of psychotherapeutic bodywork). You set the pace, and nothing happens without your agreement.
The work supports the body's self-regulating capacity and, over time, can help restore a sense of internal flow, vitality, and calm. While everyone's journey is different, many clients report reduced anxiety, depression, fatigue, or aches and pains; as well as greater energy, grounding, and wellbeing.
