Testimonials Archive - Alexandra Roberts, Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Norwich

Alex has been a huge asset to our therapy offer at parkside Special Needs School. Alex has a calm and considerate manner with the children and young people, she understands their social communication needs and encourages them to express themselves in the most appropriate way for them. Our young people feel safe with Alex and know that they are respected. Alex is highly skilled at supporting young people that are neuro-diverse and that have a learning disability but still need to talk through their emotions and try to understand them.

I highly recommend Alex.

Carolyn Ellis-Gage Head Teacher at The Parkside Complex Needs School

I sought out Alex on the recommendation of a close friend and I am so glad I did. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone so perfectly suited to their role, because Alex is the kindest of people. She made me feel instantly comfortable, and allowed me to be open- even about some of the most deeply personal things. She is incredibly perceptive and so accommodating. I could not recommend her more if – like me – you have issues you wish to talk through with a professional

Lucy

I feel so safe to talk to Alex and she has made me comfortable to talk about the uncomfortable things about myself. She challenges my perspective and helps me understand myself, while being unbelievably kind and empathetic. I have made so much progress with Alex and could not recommend her enough.

Aamna

Alex has helped me greatly. She is very approachable, friendly and professional. I feel safe and comfortable when talking to Alex and know that I am being listened to without judgement. I would recommend Alex to anyone who is seeking help with their mental health.

Rebecca

Alex is amazing. Always made me feel comfortable, relaxed and I left with a sense of relief and achievement that I had made progress with my struggles. Highly recommended.

Julie

Talking to Alex was my first experience of counselling. Alex is so kind, understanding and patient. She creates a safe space for you to share anything you need to while offering her advice. Her sessions are also quite flexible too as she offers online sessions as well as in person. Alex has helped me a lot and I would highly recommend her.

Ato

Very friendly and professional. Alex is making a real positive difference to my teenage daughter’s mental health, she’s at ease talking to Alex regarding her thoughts and feelings and is getting the support she needs. Very quick to respond to my request and appointments available. Would strongly recommend.

Amy

Alex was warm and welcoming and has a beautiful space, in which to relax and make sense of a slightly chaotic time in my life. This was my first experience(s) of counselling and I would strongly recommend Alex to anybody needing a none judgemental ear.
I hope to return in the future.
Thank you Alex.

Ross

Alex is one of the kindest souls I have ever met. Not to sound dramatic, but she really changed my life and helped me get me back. She is so caring, supportive, a wonderful listener and is always there for you when you need her. Appointments can be as little or as often as you wish and times are so flexible. Her knowledge on mental health is just astounding and she gives amazing help and advice. It doesn’t matter how long it has been since your last appointment – she will be there for you. I couldn’t recommend her more. She is truly an angel sent to earth.

Emmy

I was lucky enough to have Alex as a counsellor when I needed her help the most. When I was feeling vulnerable, it was invaluable to have a person and a space so warm, friendly and safe in which to explore, validate and find closure from certain events, and the thoughts and feelings which they triggered. Alex was able to guide me through the process of reflecting on my experiences, prompting me when needed, and just listening when needed, all while remaining impartial. She is a wonderful counsellor with fantastically positive energy, and I would throughly recommend her counselling services to anyone.

Rebecca Thompson

Our reasons for couple’s counselling with Alex were complex and deep rooted, needing her to grasp both historical and current issues, which she did quickly, very professionally and in a constructive non judgemental way. We felt she was genuine, warm and friendly, supporting both of us equally, which enabled us to “open up” so much so we now have a new opportunity to move forward.
