ALEX

Alex is the founder of Green Tree Therapy and an experienced Solution Focused Practitioner. Having trained as an Occupational Therapist, Alex worked in the NHS for many years specialising in musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation, with a special interest in the psychological effects of physical injury and illness.

In 2018, after completing Solution Focused training, Alex formed Green Tree Therapy. She now heads up a team of practitioners and an administrator. Alex’s vision for the business is to:

• Make excellent quality, talking therapy more accessible, removing cost as a barrier.

• Create a working environment where practitioners can work autonomously, enabling them to make the most of their skills, while benefiting from the support of a team of like-minded peers.

• Use Solution Focused approaches to support teams in health, education and social care organisations to provide an effective service.

• Build knowledge and understanding of Solution Focused Brief Therapy and promote its use as a viable and effective way to help people to move forwards in their lives.

In addition to her own work with clients, Alex manages multiple contracts with large organisations to provide Solution Focused therapy, coaching and training that is free at the point of contact. She is also a manager for the Journal of Solution Focused Practices – a peer reviewed, international publication.

A keen musician, Alex sings and plays guitar and double bass in a country band in her free time.

Alex is a member of the UK Association of Solution Focused Practice (UKASFP) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
