Alex De Ville , BACP

Alex De Ville is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He works from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and already carries resources that can support meaningful change.

He holds the BACP credential, a professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and uses that training to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for exploration. Alex blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and insight-oriented ideas influenced by psychodynamic work, adapting methods to the needs of each person he sees.

Taking the first step toward greater well-being can feel daunting, and Alex frames that step as an act of courage. He partners with clients to set goals, build coping strategies, and uncover strengths that help them move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life, offering steady support throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alex combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they identify personal goals and draw on their own strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful patterns by teaching practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alex treats that choice as a collaborative process. He works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds so the plan remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with Alex is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
