Alistair Semmence

Alistair is a UKCP integrative therapist working with individuals, couples and other relationships online and in person.

From Alistair:

I'm Alistair (he/him). My approach to therapy is grounded in curiosity. I'm interested in how you experience your life and the world around you. I see many of the ways we struggle as understandable and reasonable responses to what we have lived through. We adapt to survive in the best way that we can and might reach a point where how we've adapted no longer works for us. Therapy can be a place to explore how your experiences have shaped how you see yourself, your relationships and your place in the world.

I work in a relational and trauma-informed way, paying attention to patterns of connection, protection and disconnection and how they show up in our relationships with ourselves and others. I'm mixed heritage (British-Thai) and queer. These aspects of my identity inform my practice and how I understand connection and belonging. I have a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute, am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Acc.) and am currently completing an MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy.
