Approach:

At Life Skills Dojo, Alexis prioritises creating a safe, supportive, and neuroaffirmative space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Therapy is tailored to each person’s unique needs, values, communication style, and strengths.

She has many years of experience working collaboratively with neurodivergent children, adolescents, and adults.

By blending adapted CBT techniques, Health Psychology, and the DNA-V model, Alexis helps clients overcome challenges, build resilience, and develop practical coping strategies, all while fostering a positive and engaging therapeutic experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT explores the connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical sensations. With the right tools and insights, clients learn to navigate these patterns and build healthier, more balanced ways of living.

Health Psychology

Health psychology (also known as behavioural medicine) focuses on the relationship between mind, body, environment, and overall wellbeing. Alexis supports clients in making sustainable lifestyle changes using evidence-based strategies to improve both mental and physical health.

The DNA-V Model

Rooted in Positive Psychology and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the DNA-V model helps clients develop psychological flexibility. By identifying their values and strengths, clients gain clarity and confidence in overcoming life’s challenges.
