About Alexis
Alexis Reid-Hamilton is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing parenting challenges, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He brings 14 years of experience and a calm, respectful manner to sessions. He aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood.
He listens first and adapts his style to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit everyday life. That might mean setting small goals, building confidence, or finding ways to cope with loss and stress.
Background and approach
Alexis uses motivational interviewing to support change and to help people find their own reasons to move forward. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify strengths and short-term strategies that bring relief and momentum. He has a BACP credential, which is listed with his professional details.
He works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. He does not accept international clients. People often come to him for help with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, or the feeling of isolation that sometimes follows life transitions.
He also supports those dealing with blended family issues, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, or multicultural challenges. Alexis asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. From there he helps arrange a suitable time to start sessions using the format that suits each person.

How Alexis blends talking therapies with online access
Alexis uses a client-centred approach that places the person at the heart of each session. This means conversations begin with the individual's concerns and priorities, and the counsellor follows the person's lead to build understanding and trust. Motivational interviewing is about helping people find their own reasons to change and increasing motivation, which can suit parenting goals or managing low mood. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying what is already working and on small practical steps to move forward, useful for stress, grief and everyday problems.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Alexis will discuss options in early sessions and adapt methods based on what the person wants to achieve. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time to match changing goals and needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are convenient for short check-ins, quick reflections or ongoing support between longer appointments. These formats help people fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments.
