I spent about six months working with Alexandra where she introduced me to EMDR and her workshops. I had been through a health issue, relationship breakdown and had a premature baby within a short space of time, which caused my mind to race to all sorts of places. She helped me work through the trauma, refocus on the now, change my outlook on things that I can and can’t control and look at life with a new perspective. She is extremely talented at what she does and I am forever grateful for discovering her!
