Hi ~ My name is Alexandra. I grew up in England and the U.S. and I now live in Lagos, Portugal.
I've walked through many fires in my life; addiction, loss, traumas and experiences that have shaped who I am. I found freedom through flying, music, therapy, and meditation. Through them, I’ve learned that true freedom isn’t about escaping—it’s about meeting yourself fully. These make me feel alive - that sense of connectedness to something beyond myself, but also within.
I love exploring the world, and in my voyage of life I have learned that no matter who or where you are, there are threads that connect us all as humans.
I've always had a deep interest in the mind and consciousness, and a passion for helping others. I have degrees in Psychology and Education, and spent 10 years working with students with academic, emotional and behavioral difficulties. Working in this field taught me the importance of empowering the inner self and inspiring confidence to overcome challenges.
I'm currently getting an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy and accepting new clients.
Integrative therapy recognizes that cognition, behavior, and physiology are deeply interconnected, shaping how we experience and respond to life. Humans are complex and unique, and I believe psychotherapy should reflect that. My approach is personalized, weaving together different therapeutic methods to meet you where you are
We are multi-faceted beings, and I believe that science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive. As Carl Sagan so beautifully said, "Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual."

Meditation and therapy profoundly impacted my life. I learned the power of becoming the observer of my own experience. Becoming the observer has allowed me to transform pain into understanding, and fear into presence. I came to understand that real change begins with responsibility—the willingness to step back, witness one's patterns, and choose a different path.
Through this journey, I learned to navigate my mind with greater awareness. I discovered how to truly let go—of the past, of the need for control, of the resistance that keeps you stuck. I saw the power in allowing emotions to exist without letting them define you. In that space, I found clarity, resilience, and a sense of freedom I had never known before.
This shift not only transformed my inner world but also reshaped my path. I soon realized that I wanted to support others in the way I had been supported. This led me down a beautiful road of learning, moving across the world and starting a new chapter of my life and career.
