Hello I'm Alex, you have taken the first steps in reaching out which can be sometimes the hardest part. Whether you are feeling anxious, down, overwhelmed, relationship troubles or going through a difficult time in your life.
I have over 10 years experience of counselling, dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, family struggle, relationships, PTSD and depression. Also in high pressure situations and providing coaching for rehabilitation of injury, disease and fitness.
My counselling style is friendly, at the clients pace and I don't use big complicated words or phrases which only confuses and hinders the therapeutic relationship. Seeking help is a unnerving process but it shows strength of character that you are here looking to feel happier.
My approach is person centered and have worked with all kinds of clients from all ages - primary school to adults. I hope to provide a safe place in which you can confidentially explore your thoughts and emotions with support.
We go through a lot in life and sometimes we need that little bit of support to get over things. If you are going through any kind of struggle then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

What a great person and therapist. I just really appreciate the sessions and therefore time spent together. I can 100% recommend Alex Curran, he goes way above and beyond expectations and I could have never expected such an amazing and life changing experience before starting therapy. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
Alex is a great therapist. I would definitely recommend him.
Alex is very easy to talk to as he is a great listener and always offers interesting insights into what I've been discussing. I've found the sessions to be very positive in helping me focus on things I want to improve and have helped me immensely. I've really appreciated having Alex talk things through with me and offer ideas to think about. I've noticed a change for the better in the past couple of months and I am very thankful to have been matched up with someone so kind and understanding.
