Alex did such a great job with one of my team at the Open Dialogue Centre. Very thorough and generous with her approach, thoughtful initially in clarifying what we were trying to address, and then very professional in how her support was delivered. For us, the outcomes were excellent - the team member developed a new confidence with how she contributed, and was more accepting of things they could not control. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
