Alexis Reid-Hamilton, BACP

Alexis Reid-Hamilton is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate hard times. He works with grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem and motivation, as well as depression and stress. He aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while tailoring conversations to individual needs.

With 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom, he draws on simple, practical ways to help people move forward. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. He listens for strengths and builds on them rather than starting from a list of problems.

Alexis also supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and the challenges of life changes. He pays attention to attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and family of origin concerns when they come up. Guilt, shame, isolation and multicultural factors are also part of his work where relevant.

He uses Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape the work together. That means conversations are collaborative, goal-focused, and adapted to each person’s pace. Alexis believes steady, practical progress is often the most helpful outcome.

Alexis holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as his credential. Sessions are conducted in English and he practices in the UK. He asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book according to his schedule.

How these approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. The counsellor reflects feelings, shows acceptance and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is about gentle, goal-focused conversations that build motivation for change. It helps with problems like low motivation, life transitions and habits by exploring values and small next steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and simple goals. It asks what is already working and how to do more of it, so sessions often produce usable actions to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the person's needs, aims and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to check in during a difficult week. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Many people find that remote sessions reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, and help keep continuity of support when life is unpredictable.
