An open and flexible approach

Annie Alexander

I am a registered psychologist with over 10 years’ experience and professional training working in variety of educational and clinical services in Scotland and Australia. Although I love Scotland, the Gold Coast has definitely become my new home. I like to take advantage of the beautiful weather and surrounds by walking with my dog Dexter (who unfortunately has decided that he is unable to offer his services as a therapy dog), paddle boarding, enjoying the beach vibes and running along the beachfront. I am also a reading addict as you can see from my bookshelves.

I am experienced in helping adults of all ages who present with a range of issues – mood disorders, trauma, low mood, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, grief, loss, life transitions, relationship concerns and interpersonal difficulties, self-care and self-esteem difficulties, and low motivation. Or when you are just feeling ‘stuck’ in areas of your life and find yourself repeating the same unhelpful patterns.

I work with adults aged 21 years and over, supporting people in navigating and adjusting to the challenges that come along with being human. At these times, help and guidance from a qualified professional can enable you to make positive changes and develop new ways of thinking that can take you closer to a more fulfilling personal life.

I have an open and flexible approach to therapy so I can utilise a variety of strategies and tailor our sessions to suit your personal goals, needs and preferred style of working in your time with me. I draw on techniques from a range of evidence-based therapies namely:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Schema Therapy
Compassion Focused Therapy
Mindfulness
Somatic/Poly Vagal theory
