About Alexis

Alexis Reid-Hamilton is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing grief, parenting strains, low self-esteem and depression. He works in a straightforward way and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed or unsure. Alexis holds BACP accreditation and has 14 years of professional experience in the UK.

He offers conversations shaped around each person's needs. Sessions focus on listening, gently exploring what matters, and developing small, practical steps.

Background and approach

He applies motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum. Solution-focused work is used to identify what is already working and expand those strengths. This can be useful when someone needs clearer steps to cope with stress, relationship strain or life transitions.

Alexis also attends to attachment concerns, blended family issues and the effects of past domestic violence in ways that suit each individual's situation. Alexis pays attention to feelings of guilt, shame and isolation, and he supports people working on multicultural concerns and self-love. He keeps language plain and clear, avoiding jargon so conversations are easier to follow.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone is nervous about starting, Alexis helps with a gentle plan and straightforward goals. He adapts the pace to each person and reviews progress as things change.

This gives room to try things that fit everyday life and build confidence over time.

How Alexis works online

Client-Centred Therapy is about building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting and helping people name what matters most to them in clear terms. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and to strengthen their commitment. When used online it often involves short collaborative conversations that uncover personal goals and small next steps to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for strengths and small changes that already help. Online sessions can be used to set concise tasks and to review what worked, which helps people build practical momentum across ordinary days. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the person's preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. That way sessions reflect immediate priorities rather than a fixed programme. For practical arrangements, please confirm the session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help people maintain consistency while working on grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and other concerns.
