About Alex Hayes
He practices from a person-centred, client-guided perspective - walking alongside people as they identify and build the changes they want. He aims to offer a non-judgemental space while providing challenge when it supports progress, collaborating with each person to develop practical, sustainable steps forward. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
Before training as a therapist, he held several corporate roles in London. After facing and working through his own experience with addiction, he moved to Cape Town to retrain and committed to supporting others in their recovery and personal growth. That personal journey informs his empathy and understanding for people working through very difficult periods, and he focuses on helping others move toward brighter, more manageable places in their lives.

Could remote therapy be a good fit for you?
Many people consider online therapy because it can address the same kinds of everyday concerns that bring people to in-person work - for example stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes. For many of these common issues, online therapy can offer outcomes comparable to traditional face-to-face sessions, with similar therapeutic value.One major advantage is flexibility. People can choose the communication method that fits their life and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which often makes it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists who provide online work are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is needed. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, effective way to engage with therapeutic support while balancing other commitments.
