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.
