Therapy in North London
About me
Hi I’m Alexandra Noël.
I am a proud Black non-binary lesbian woman with Epilepsy, an invisible disability.
I am a qualified integrative therapist.
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma and MSc in Mental Health Psychology.
I am also a BAATN anti-oppression trainer.
I believe everybody deserves therapy, especially if you are Black, a person of Colour, disabled, and identify as LGBTQIA+. And even more so if you hold those identities intersectionally.
I work from an integrative perspective because I believe that no two human beings are the same, and therefore one therapeutic approach cannot work for all.
I believe within a strong, trusting and safe therapeutic relationship, we can work together to raise an unconscious process into conscious awareness.
From an existential perspective, I work with my clients non-judgementally and empathically, not assuming anything about their experiences while making space for them to find their life meaning.
From a psychoanalytic and humanistic perspective, I use attachment theory to understand how my client’s early trauma may have affected their relationships with others. I feel the therapeutic relationship is important for modelling healthy and secure attachments in the here-and-now.
From a transpersonal and embodied perspective, I like to work as two human bodies in a room together, carrying generations of life experience and oppression. I am also a published writer and use poet and prose as a form of expression and narrative therapy.
