About Alexandra
Alexandra says: ‘I offer a safe, confidential, and empathic space where you will always be treated with compassion and respect. My work is centred around helping you connect more deeply with yourself – supporting healing on emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual levels.
I’ve always been fascinated by people – their inner worlds, emotional patterns, and capacity for transformation. This curiosity led me to study Psychology at university and later begin a career in marketing. Alongside this path, I was drawn to explore my own healing journey, delving into a wide range of modalities across mind, body, and spirit. I eventually trained in those I found most impactful, and it is now my passion to share these approaches with others.
I work from About Balance in Brighton on alternate Friday afternoons and offer a free consultation call to explore how I can support you.’

Testimonials
Alexandra has a wonderful way of making you feel extremely comfortable, as if you have known her a very long time. I feel very safe in her hands and I have been able to deal with lots of things, even some deep set trauma I wasn’t aware was causing problems for me! Alexandra is a very supportive, caring and understanding person, someone you can trust and be your true self with. A truly incredible therapist prepared to go that extra mile for clients! I am so grateful for Alexandra’s help and don’t know where I’d be without her!
I had a really beautiful energy healing treatment with Alexandra. She asked me what I wanted from the treatment, and it was to release my nervous system from a general vibration of stress/anxiety that it felt stuck in after a period of trauma and illness. I have to say that I’m not really sure how, but I felt an entire layer of “fight/flight” feeling had left me…almost as though she had helped me adjust my energy field. It was lovely that she had already felt into my energy
earlier that day and brought in crystals that she intuitively chose with me in “mind”. Strangely enough, they did really resonate with me, and I still think of the combination of quite a vibrant sparkling yellow one and a deeply calming amethyst when I need to come back to that healing energy I felt in the room. She gave me some interesting advice to let my trauma release be more open and expansive than simply tranquilising…and it’s been helping me ever since. I definitely recommend this treatment with Alexandra if you need to be guided into healing mode and not sure how to do it, or what it is exactly that you need…this could well be it 🙂
