Alex De Ville, BACP

Alex De Ville is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. He approaches each person with respect for their own knowledge of their life - believing that clients are the experts of their stories and that they already possess strengths that can be drawn on to meet difficult challenges. He encourages the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and offers steady, nonjudgmental support as clients take those first steps and continue their journeys.

Alex combines practical skill with warm, collaborative care, helping clients explore what matters to them, build coping strategies, and work through painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. He is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices in the United Kingdom while accepting international clients. Whether someone is facing an acute crisis or navigating longer term life changes, Alex aims to create a space that honours the client’s strengths and goals while offering professional guidance and tailored therapeutic tools.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alex draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the client’s own perspective and encourages self-exploration in a supportive, non-directive way - useful for building self-esteem and clarifying personal goals. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. In addition, Alex incorporates Psychodynamic Therapy to explore deeper patterns and early influences that shape current feelings and relationships, which can be helpful for understanding recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alex works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as understanding grows over time.

Online therapy with Alex offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to continue during life transitions or when in-person meetings are not practical.
