Psychotherapy & Parenting Counselling
Improving your relationship with yourself and those close to you by breaking the old patterns that stop you enjoying life. Arming you with awareness & choice to live differently.
Living just hoping that things will get better soon?
You’re at your wits’ end with your child’s behaviour?
Maybe you experiencing endless sleepless nights and stressful days full of worry?
Perhaps you realise it’s time to seek help coping with your anxiety or depression?
You know it’s time to change destructive behaviour patterns but you can’t do it alone?
Psychotherapy operates at a deep level and it takes time, but that’s why the change is long lasting and massively rewarding
For me personally, I hated going to therapy for a big chunk of it, toying with the idea that living in denial was easier but life was getting better and I wanted more so I stuck it out – thankfully!!
It works for individuals & couples of all ages – it can work for you too
How can Alex Carling help you?
Parenting Counselling
Are you a parent of carer who’s worried about your child’s behaviour?
Would you like to speak to a professional about their anxiety, confidence, or self esteem?
Feel unsure about the strategies you’ve been using and want tools to help you with your parenting?
Psychotherapy & Counselling
Do you feel anxious, stressed, or depressed?
Do you feel the need to talk to someone who can help you when you’re struggling or when feeling distressed and overwhelmed?
Do you want to make changes in your personal life and key relationships?
Working With Schools
Do your teachers need support in handling difficult behaviour and attitudes without allowing it to be a personal trigger?
Would an opportunity to work through these barriers by gaining awareness, then developing a new frame of reference to work from benefit both your teachers and pupils?

Are you a talking therapy practitioner, a counsellor, or an organisation that supports people in the community and are looking for a room to hire in Hull?
Hi
I’ve always been a firm believer that people can change.
Our histories influence who we are - and my personal therapy allowed me to experience it first hand.
At the risk of sounding like a cliché, I love my job and I think that’s originally down to my own therapy experience whilst training.
I’m Alex Carling (BSc. | Dip. | MBCAP) and I offer psychotherapy and counselling to individuals, couples and family members in Hull and online.
With over 15 years of therapeutic experience and work in the fields of mental health
trauma
abuse
attachment
children
parenting
adults
I offer a range of therapeutic services, both online (via email and Zoom) and face to face in Hull. I also offer therapeutic online courses for individuals.
“I’ve been following Alex’s page for a while and love seeing regular motivational and insightful quotes as well as more detailed thought-provoking posts. I’ve only recently become a more active participant as I am very self conscious commenting in public spaces online. However, Alex has responded in a genuine and understanding way each time and has boosted my confidence in sharing. There are some strong opinions out there about parenting however this group feels supportive and non-judgmental.
I struggle with mum guilt and want to set boundaries for my children which show an understanding of their needs as well as my own. I am often reassured by Alex that my struggles are normal! The group also helps me to see things from a different perspective.”
