About Alex
Alex De Ville is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing depression, anxiety and grief. He holds BACP accreditation and brings six years of professional experience to his practice. He aims to create a space where people can talk about what feels heavy and begin to notice their strengths.
He sees therapy as a collaborative process. He starts by listening and helping people name their main difficulties.
Background and approach
From there he offers ways to test small changes that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Alex commonly uses client-centred methods to ensure people feel heard and understood.
He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. He sometimes looks at life patterns through a psychodynamic lens to uncover repeated themes that affect current choices.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleeping and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD or bipolar experiences. He also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, bereavement and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients.
He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines. To get started people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

Approaches Alex lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from past relationships that show up now. This can help people understand repeated difficulties in relationships, self-esteem or coping with loss.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust as needed. People often blend techniques so the work matches their needs and preferences.
Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from another location, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
