Offering affordable individual online counselling £30 or in person £45
Hello! I’m Alex Mason (she/her)
I’m a qualified counsellor based in Leicester, and I offer a calm, steady space where you can talk about whatever’s going on in your life. You don’t need to know anything about counselling or have the “right words” — we go at your pace, and we figure things out together.

My Approach
My approach is integrative and trauma‑informed, drawing on person‑centered, psychodynamic and cognitive perspectives to create therapy that adapts to each individual. I offer a calm, steady and inclusive space shaped by my mixed Syrian heritage, LGBT+ identity and neurodiversity. This lived experience allows me to work with sensitivity to identity, belonging and difference, supporting clients to explore their emotional and relational worlds with clarity and respect. Safety, empowerment and choice guide the pace of our work, ensuring that therapy remains grounded, collaborative and attuned.
I value the courage it takes to bring something into counselling that may never have felt safe to share before. I recognise that every story, memory or chapter offered in the therapy room is significant, often unfolding for the first time in a space where it can finally be held without fear or judgement. Being able to witness this unfolding is a privilege, and I approach it with deep respect, care and attentiveness. My commitment is to honour each person’s experience, creating a therapeutic relationship where their voice can emerge, be heard and be reclaimed in its own time.
