Alex Jarvis

I am an HPCSA Registered Counsellor with training and experience in community and educational mental health settings. My approach is client-centred, collaborative, and affirming, drawing on elements of evidence-based approaches, including Existential and Narrative therapy, CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed skills, supporting both reflection and practical ways of coping. I am committed to providing accessible, ethical, and inclusive mental health support and to creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
