Chronic Pelvic Pain

Adenomyosis

Hysterectomy

Absolutely excellent! The staff helped to put me at ease and ensure that my experience was as positive as possible. Would have no hesitation in accessing the care and services provided by the hospital again, or recommending The Alexandra to friends and family. Thank you for looking after me so well.

Anxiety Disorder

Depression

I will speak about my experience with Dr. Nadeem as a whole. He has been my psychiatrist on and off for the past 5 years and I can honestly say he’s the best one I’ve ever had! He’s so kind and listens very carefully to my concerns and fully takes into account my overall health, not just my mental struggles, when prescribing. He also has an impeccable memory for his patient’s history! He also always made me feel like I am his priority while we’re in our appointment. Never rushed. I will miss our visits!

Alia Somani was a fantastic therapist. She made me feel comfortable and at ease from the very first meeting. It took me a long time to feel ready for therapy and I am eternally grateful for the time we had together. I feel like I have refound my spark and feel equipt for the future. Thank you Alia.

Anxiety

Stress

When I first went to see Zach, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and really intense chest pain. I was also constantly in my head. I would overthink everything, analyse every situation and try to work things out intellectually, but somehow I never actually got anywhere and the anxiety would just keep coming back.

What I appreciated about Zach was that he was compassionate, but also very direct. He didn’t sugar-coat things and there were times when he challenged me in a way that was uncomfortable, but usually because I was avoiding something important or going back into analysing instead of actually feeling what was happening.

Over time I started to realise that a lot of the anxiety was connected to feelings I had been pushing away or simply didn’t know how to experience. Instead, they seemed to come out through anxiety and the pain in my chest. Learning to stay with those feelings rather than immediately escaping into my head has been one of the hardest parts of the work, but also the most important.

The process hasn’t been easy, but I can genuinely say I’m in a very different place now. My anxiety is much lower, the chest pain has reduced a lot and, probably for the first time, I can actually recognise and literally feel what is underneath the anxiety rather than just thinking about it.

I still overthink sometimes, but it no longer feels like I’m trapped in it. That has been a huge change for me.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

I approached Maria to get help for anxiety while managing a demanding professional career. Maria was easy to talk to, practical, and genuinely understanding. Our sessions helped me manage my anxiety better and approach stressful situations with more clarity and confidence. I would highly recommend her.

Distress Tolerance Skills

Occupational Burnout

After a lot of hard work, I’m so pleased with where I am. Pablo’s approach is so flexible, it really fits around my life and my timing, which has let me move forward at my own speed and in a way that feels right for me. I’m incredibly thankful.

Trauma

Shame & Self-Worth

Dr Bassil is sympathetic and approachable.  I found our sessions valuable.
