Alicia Billig

Hello, I’m Alicia. I am a therapist based in Chiswick (West London) and Earls Court (South West London). I offer online sessions via Zoom if you prefer the comfort of your own home. As someone who loves nature, I also offer walking therapy in the West London area. I take a humanistic approach, which means I see each client as a whole, capable and unique person rather than a set of symptoms. I believe that every individual has an innate capacity for growth, self-understanding and positive change when supported in the right environment. My style is calm and warm and you will feel supported and at ease. I aim to provide a space where your experiences are fully acknowledged, while working collaboratively towards self-acceptance and reduced anxiety. Whether you're navigating a specific difficulty or just feeling overwhelmed, I provide a safe and non-judgemental space where we can explore what's going on together. Each individual is unique and I work in an authentic way to allow your true nature to come through. You will be listened to and supported in a process to enable you to start living life in a way that has meaning to you. Central to our work is the rapport we build, creating a supportive setting where you can feel seen, heard and understood. I have worked in the NHS with a very broad range of people, personalities, backgrounds, difficulties and diagnoses. I work with individuals struggling with a wide range of difficulties including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. Whether you're navigating a specific difficulty or just feeling overwhelmed, I provide a safe and non-judgemental space where we can explore what's going on together. I trained integratively and so have experience working with different theories and types of therapy. Everyone has their own story, which is why it is important to use the right therapy for you. Are you pregnant or a new parent and worried about parenthood issues? My practice includes supporting expectant and new parents adjusting to a new chapter in their lives. Personal and professional experiences have developed a deep understanding of the unique emotional changes it brings. I also regularly work with clients in corporate industries, experiencing workplace burnout, anxieties and bullying. Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked in a corporate role for over nine years. During this time, I developed a clear understanding of the impact stress and anxiety can have on the body and mind and an awareness of the life-changing benefits of therapy. The first session involves an initial assessment meeting, which allows you to see if you feel comfortable with me, discuss what concerns you, ask questions, clarify confidentiality, and determine what type of therapy could assist you. Sometimes people come to therapy with a clear goal in mind and others are unsure where to start. I offer a free 20 minute introductory phone call during which you can ask any questions you may have.
