You don't have to be falling apart
to talk to someone.
This page is for young adults. The rest of the site is mostly written for parents and doctors - fair warning, it's a bit more formal.
Questions you might be asking.
"What if I don't know what to say?"
Most people don't, the first time. We can talk about whatever - the room, your week, why this is weird, a TV show. It builds from there.
"Will my parents find out everything?"
No. What you say is yours. We agree from session one what gets shared and what doesn't - the only exception is if you or someone else isn't safe.
"Is it like in films? A couch and ‘how does that make you feel’?"
No couch. No clipboard. Sometimes we walk. Sometimes there's a dog. It's just a real conversation with someone whose job is to actually listen.
"What if I think therapy is kind of cringe?"
Honestly, fair. A lot of it has been over-marketed. You're allowed to be sceptical - that's actually a good starting position.
"Can we do it online?"
Yes. Lots of clients do video sessions from their room, the car, wherever they can get a bit of privacy. Same work, different location.
"How much does it cost?"
We'll talk fees through on the first call - it's just part of the conversation. If money is tight, ask; there are sometimes lower-cost spots. The first 15-min call is free.
Who is Alex?
I'm a therapist. I work mostly with people roughly your age. I don't think being a young adult is a small thing - most of what shapes a life happens in this window.
I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to think alongside you, and to give a few honest, non-parent perspectives on whatever's loud in your head.
Longer version →I came in convinced I was wasting time. By session four I was looking forward to it. That's all I have.

No script, no commitment.
Send a message or book the free 15-min call. You don't have to know what's wrong or have a "reason". Just curiosity is fine.
