About Alexandra

Alexandra Herzog is a clinical psychotherapist with 15 years' experience who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety and life transitions. She works in English and German and sees clients through online formats. Alexandra holds PACFA credentialing and brings a calm, practical style to sessions.

Her work combines body-focused awareness with evidence-informed talking therapies. She pays attention to bodily signals and how emotions show up in posture, breath and tension. This helps people notice patterns they often miss when they only think about feelings.

Background and approach

Alexandra uses plain, goal-focused conversations alongside techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She aims for clarity about what matters to each person and small changes that fit daily life. Sessions include simple exercises and reflections to practise between meetings.

Attachment-based ideas inform her work on intimacy, commitment and family-of-origin problems. That perspective helps people understand how early relationship patterns influence present reactions and communication. It is useful for improving connection and reducing repeating cycles of hurt.

She also supports people with grief, career challenges, sleep and eating concerns, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. Alexandra offers supervision for other clinicians and uses a collaborative pace so clients set the goals and rate of change. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to availability.

How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online

Somatic work pays attention to sensations in the body and how they relate to emotions and behaviour. In online sessions Alexandra might guide gentle noticing of breath, posture and tension to help people identify triggers and grounding strategies that can be used at home.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes when people want a practical way to move toward what matters.

Attachment-based therapy looks at relationship patterns that started early in life and keep repeating today. Online conversations can help people see those patterns and try different ways of relating that reduce reactivity and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then try methods that fit. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments, and allow consistent work on skills between sessions with different communication methods.
