Dr Alex Fowke

Clinical Psychologist

“Skilled & experienced clinical psychologist working with clients using CBT-based approaches to treat a variety of emotional difficulties.”

About Me

I work with individuals to help them navigate various emotional difficulties. My approach centres on understanding how thoughts and feelings connect. I offer practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or low mood. Together, we can explore effective ways to build resilience and improve daily well-being. This collaborative style suits those seeking clear, actionable steps. It helps gain lasting coping skills.

Approach

Skilled, CBT-informed practice shapes how I help people test unhelpful thoughts through brief, focused experiments and clear planning. In my London consulting room, all sessions are in English and feel structured but flexible — we set an agenda, try techniques together, and track progress between meetings with short exercises or mindfulness practices. I routinely blend assessment checkpoints with collaborative problem-solving, especially when patterns from past abuse or relationship difficulties affect daily mood and control. This approach suits adolescents and adults seeking practical, steady change.
