About
Alex Hayes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of experience working in counselling centres, addiction treatment services, and private practice across Cape Town, Belgium, and now London.
He works from a person-centred, client-guided approach, walking alongside people to support them in building the changes they want. He offers a safe, non-judgemental space and will challenge when appropriate while always collaborating with clients to help them move forward.
Before training as a therapist, Alex lived and worked in London in a range of corporate roles. After facing his own challenges with addiction he relocated to Cape Town to retrain as a therapist and set out to help others in the way he had been helped. He knows what it takes to come out of very dark places and aims to help people do the same, wherever they are in their journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main advantages is practical flexibility - you can connect with a therapist in the way that suits you best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility helps therapy fit more easily around work, family, and daily routines.
Each therapist you work with will be a licensed professional, and you have the option to switch therapists at any time if you feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy can be a convenient route to support for many common mental health and life challenges.
