Alexis Pass, BACP

Alexis Pass is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and midlife changes. She welcomes those dealing with grief, depression, parenting pressures, career crossroads and questions about identity. Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language for people who use sign communication.

Alexis draws on a long career in mental health and community settings. She trained in childcare early on and later worked on a grief team for many years. That background informs how she supports people through loss and big life changes.

She has spent two decades working with deaf people and holds British Sign Language level 6 fluency. Alexis is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP.

Her day-to-day work has included doctors' surgeries, schools and an office for face-to-face sessions. She also takes referrals for other counselling organisations when they need additional support.

In a typical session she aims to follow the pace the client prefers, allowing people to talk as much or as little as they want. The focus is on practical conversation and making choices that feel manageable during challenging times.

Clients seeking help with ADHD, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, communication difficulties or recovery from relationship breakdown can expect direct, calm support and an emphasis on helpful next steps.

How her approaches translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment. It helps people who are navigating anxiety, midlife decisions, low mood or grief by prioritising their perspective and pace. Imago Relationship Therapy teaches structured dialogue techniques to improve communication and repair connection between partners; it is useful for couples and those wanting clearer conversations about commitment and conflict.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will work with you to test which methods feel most useful, adapt them to your goals, and change course when something is not helpful. That collaborative stance means sessions are shaped around your needs rather than a fixed plan.

Confirm which session formats are available before you book, as the biography does not list specific online or remote options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make sessions possible when a client has limited mobility. Speak with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions fit into your everyday routine.
