Annella Alexander

I offer a warm and relaxed presence where clients feel safe to have honest conversations. By increasing awareness of their inner world clients begin to live a more congruent, intentional and fulfilled life. Clients report experiencing changes in their interpersonal relationships, increased emotional awareness and insight, hope in their future, and improved coping skills. I work with clients struggling with  depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, family of origin and attachment issues, (including parental abandonment or betrayal), substance abuse, grief and workplace stress. 

Let's connect to explore possibilities, maximize potential & rediscover purpose.
