LEXI ALTER

— Registered Social Worker & Psychotherapist

Hi! I'm Lexi - a dedicated social worker and psychotherapist with extensive experience in working with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couple and family therapy. Whether you’re starting something new in life, wanting to make a change you’ve been putting off, or simply curious about what’s next for you, I'm here to take that first step together with you.

Areas of Expertise

  • Evidence-based support for individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, low mood, loneliness, and self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Whether you're feeling persistently overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of worry, emotionally drained, or disconnected from others, therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we work on strengthening emotion regulation skills, building healthier coping strategies, and improving communication so you can express your needs more confidently and navigate relationships with greater clarity and balance.

  • Supportive, insight-oriented therapy for individuals navigating life transitions and adjustment difficulties, including significant personal changes, trauma, developmental milestones, and situational stressors. Periods of transition—whether expected or sudden—can bring uncertainty, emotional overwhelm, and a loss of stability. Together, we create space to process these experiences and strengthen your capacity to adapt with resilience and self-compassion.

  • Specialised support for individuals navigating prenatal and postpartum transitions (perinatal therapy). The journey into parenthood can be profound and life-changing, often bringing a mix of joy, uncertainty, vulnerability, and emotional intensity. Whether you are preparing for birth, adjusting to life with a newborn, or coping with unexpected challenges along the way, therapy provides a steady and supportive space to process your experience.

  • Therapy for individuals and couples navigating interpersonal, marital, and familial challenges, including conflict, separation and divorce, parent–child difficulties, and complex family dynamics. Relationship struggles can feel deeply personal and emotionally charged, often affecting self-esteem, communication, and overall wellbeing. Therapy offers a constructive space to slow things down, gain clarity, and work toward healthier patterns of connection.

    I support clients experiencing recurring conflict, breakdowns in communication, trust issues, boundary concerns, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce. For parents and families, I help address parent-child conflict, shifting roles, co-parenting challenges, and difficulties related to authority or power dynamics. Together, we explore the underlying patterns that contribute to tension and develop more effective, respectful ways of relating.

  • Trauma-informed therapy for individuals affected by child abuse and neglect. Early experiences of harm, invalidation, or unmet emotional needs can have lasting impacts on self-worth, relationships, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. Therapy offers a safe, steady, and confidential space to begin processing these experiences at a pace that feels manageable and empowering.

    I work with survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as childhood neglect, helping clients understand how early patterns may continue to shape present-day thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we focus on building emotional safety, strengthening coping skills, supporting emotion regulation, and gently processing traumatic memories where appropriate.
