Alexander Archer

If you need to talk I’m here to listen. I’m a friendly and approachable experienced counsellor. How can I help you?

Please note - during December I am only available for online sessions or WhatsApp phone calls.

I offer highly effective Person Centred therapy UK-wide.

I work with adult clients (18+) on a one to one basis (please note, I am not a couples counsellor)

I'm an independent counsellor so you won't find me on sites such as Better Help etc. By remaining independent I've found that I can provide the highest quality of therapy for my clients.

I have seen a rise in men getting in contact to have counselling. More recently my case load is around 90% male. A super strength for women is the ability to talk about their feelings and the issues they face - it's good to see more men doing the same.

What brings you here? Most clients get in touch with issues around anxiety, depression, work stress & self esteem.

When facing issues we can't resolve alone, we can feel frustrated & stuck. We may also be self critical and lost in overthinking which can be exhausting. I'm sorry if you are struggling at the moment. I'll do my best to help you. 

How can I help? As an experienced counsellor in private practice, I work with clients experiencing a wide range of issues. Person Centred therapy is flexible and highly effective, it takes account of our individuality and uniqueness. We all have our own individual story & experiences - along with the unique effect its had on us.

Person Centred couselling is not just about your internal thoughts and feelings. The whole of our lives have an affect on us - sometimes positive, sometimes negative. This type of therapy gives you the freedom to talk through any aspect of your life - say your relationships, career, home, finance or family.

Family: I've had a lot experience with clients having issues in their family. Examples could be a family member experiencing: trauma, an accident, separation, estrangement, dementia, being a carer, waiting on a medical diagnosis/procedure, bereavement, work stress & burnout etc. 

Family relationships and expectations can be particularly challenging - past hurts and unresolved conflicts can lead to tensions, arguments, divorce, inter-generational difficulties, blame, taking sides etc. We can be at our wits end holding a difficult mix of emotions such as anger, resentment and guilt.

I've had plenty of women getting in contact looking to initiate counselling for a man in their life - be that a son, husband, partner, brother or father. 

Counselling professional :

I’m a qualified Person Centred counsellor with over eight years full-time experience & a good track record of success. Registered with the Â鶹ԭ´´, I am committed to working ethically to provide the highest standards of counselling for clients.

My values and character - Friend describe me as down to earth, caring and genuine.

I’ve always had a strong drive to help and heal people. I hate seeing any living creature in pain. It’s very rewarding to see clients making progress and having successful therapeutic outcomes. Its great to see someone smile and laugh again.

I bring to therapy 60 years of life experience, extensive training & experience, common sense, a selection of tools and techniques that may be useful.

Is this the right therapy for you?

Person Centred therapy can be highly effective for a client who wants to discuss, explore and understand. I believe that we all have great potential and more inner resources than we realise, but it can often be difficult to access this by ourselves. Person Centred therapy can help you gain new insights into your problems and how to solve them. I aim to help clients develop the ability to withstand adversity, effect positive change and bounce back from difficult life events. Clients often say they feel so much better to be able to offload - I wonder if you feel like that?

Clients often report feeling better when they recognise:

· A sense of progress

· Feeling heard and understood

· They work well with their therapist

· Gaining new coping skills

· Starting to experience positive changes in their life

· Feeling better able to manage their emotions and behaviour

· Feeling empowered and more in control of their life

One of the things I hear most often from clients is how good it is to be able to talk in confidence to an independent professional completely separate from family or friends - Often with a relaxing exhaling of breath...."I can just talk about how I really feel."

Getting started:

We get a chance to meet each other in our first session. It's a great opportunity to see how we feel about taking a therapeutic journey together. Collaboratively we'll look at how we work together - things like appointment times, how frequently you would like sessions, fees and confidentiality. I'd like to hear about what has brought you to counselling, and what you would like from counselling.

Supportive session atmosphere:

The atmosphere of our counselling sessions is friendly and informal. You’ll have a confidential & safe space where you can feel valued, heard, understood & accepted. I am by nature a good listener, empathic and non-judgmental. You choose what you want to discuss. You choose how much you want to share. We work at your pace. You'll have a place to offload, a space to vent.

Getting to know each other - Our initial session can be a useful opportunity to get a sense of each other. This is fundamental to therapy. I hope you will consider me the right counsellor for you. The more comfortable you feel with your counsellor, the better your therapeutic outcomes are likely to be.

Making initial contact: If you have read this far I want to reiterate I always do my best in supporting my clients to have the best therapy possible. It's not always easy reaching out for support, so bear in mind I'll do my best to put you at ease so you can start therapy.

I have an online session availability calendar accessible via my website. Its very straightforward to find a session and book using the online calendar with just a few clicks. My email is greenlodgecounselling@gmail.com . If you prefer to phone my number is 07824112573.

If you think I can help please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.

In addition to the issues mentions above, I've had a lot of experience with clients having family problems. Family relationships and expectations can be particularly challenging - we can love someone, but find it hard to get along with them. This can lead to tensions, arguments, divorce, inter-generational rifts, estrangement etc. It can be difficult to relate to someone with fixed & inflexible attitudes. A family member may take the authority, but not the responsibility. Other members of the family may have to pick up the pieces. We can be left feeling angry, at our wits end. Secondary emotions may leave us feeling guilty and angry at ourselves.

Counselling for Men

With suicide being the main cause of death for men under the age of 50 in the UK, I wanted to highlight that part of my practice is dedicated to supporting men's mental health and emotional well-being. ​I'm often contacted by mothers worried about their sons & women concerned for their partners. Research shows that early intervention and support for anyone facing mental health issues is often most beneficial.

There maybe times in life where we face issues we can't resolve on our own. Clients often tell me how refreshing it is - & how much better they feel - being able to talk in confidence to a private counsellor. Having separation from friends and family can take the pressure off of the situation. Therapy is a place where we can discuss, explore and understand. This can help you make sense of your experiences, and how you feel about them. Rather than give you advice, I'll support you in developing your own unique  strategies and solutions to your unique situation. Therapy often feels like a journey. I take that journey with my clients with empathy, understanding and acceptance.

My values and character - I am by nature a good listener, empathic and non-judgmental. I believe it’s essential that you feel valued, supported, heard and understood.

I’ve always had a strong drive to help and heal people. I hate seeing any living creature in pain. It’s very rewarding to see clients making progress and having successful therapeutic outcomes. It's great to see clients smile & laugh again. 

Friends describe me as down to earth, caring and genuine. 

Being a counselling professional, I am a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´. As a person centred therapist, I'll support you so that you can develop the right approach for your unique situation. I aim to help you strengthen your resilience and ability to cope, resolve inner conflict, and overcome obstacles.

We all have our unique story and unique experiences, yet I have often found recurring themes arise in the therapy room that have affected many of us at one point or another - for example issues around feeling overwhelmed, anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement, loneliness, work, stress, health, self-esteem, being stuck, relationships etc. While these issues can leave us feeling isolated, they’re much more common than you may initially believe. Counselling gives us the opportunity to examine what exactly is causing you distress and help you to find resolution. Clients often report feeling better when they recognise:

Client Recommendations - the following are reviews from clients made on Google for my Counselling Practice - Green Lodge Counselling

N  The sessions I had with Alex at Green Lodge were invaluable to helping me through a period of severe depression. Very professional and encourages a constructive mindset in a relaxed trusting environment. Thank you for your help Alex really appreciated.

C I have been having therapy for over a year with Alex and was reluctant to do so as most men are!

My symptoms and triggering are all but gone thanks to Alex and his guidance and tools enabling me to become aware of my actions and feelings.

I would recommend Alex to anyone. His style of relaxed self-healing therapy and insightful skill and deep knowledge suited me perfectly. Thanks Alex.

D My counselling sessions with Alex, have undoubtedly given me much more confidence and clarity, in facing my daily challenges. My friends have noticed, how much less anxious, I have become, these days. I truly appreciate his patience and expertise, in starting a healing process for me. I found it a very calming environment and very worthwhile.

H This place has a great air of calm. Alex is a tremendous counsellor. I feel safe and confident to speak and say what I want at my own pace, there is no pressure. I feel my life is quietly and gently improving with each session I attend.
