HORÓ Counselling - Aleksandra Staneva, PhD

Aleks has offered me so much in such a short amount of time. Her therapeutic approach is gentle, warm and supportive! I have accessed multiple forms of mental health support over the years and truly nothing does compare. I highly recommend

I feel fortunate to have met Aleks. She has created a safe and supportive space where I can face challenging emotions, rediscover neglected parts of myself, and explore the mind-body connection.In her work, Aleks successfully applies academic knowledge, storytelling, Internal Family Systems and other techniques that have greatly helped me on my transformative journey.Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Aleks!

Aleks is a gifted therapist and facilitator; extremely knowledgeable, culturally sensitive and compassionate. She holds a gentle and creative space for deep inner work that I really appreciate. I always receive precious insights and meaningful support from our sessions.

It is hard to put into words the depth and bredth of support that Aleks provides in her work. She is highly skilled due to her dedication to both professional development and her own inner work. Aleks genuinely shows up each session and is able to meet you exactly where you are at, gently guiding you through processes which are transformative and healing. I feel incredibly grateful to have found my way to her.

I have just completed an IFS circle with Aleks and it was a beautiful, rich, safely and expertly held experience. Aleks has a gentle and nurturing way that allowed me to access parts of myself that needed attention and healing. Highly recommend.

Aleks is an incredible healer, mover and inspiration as a woman, mother, child and a human. She knows how to hold the human soul and heart and guide you through difficult times and teach techniques to overcome the challenges with deep care and compassion.

I can’t recommend Aleksandra enough. She is a wonderful and very knowledgeable therapist who so gently holds and believes in me as I journey through my life’s traumas, curiosities and joys.I was drawn to working with Aleksandra for her work using IFS but have been greatly warmed by her extensive knowledge, lived experience and her ability to safely guide me in exploring more deeply who I am, the parts of me that struggle with motherhood whilst being entangled in the pressures of the outside world and the way the world perceives women.I have been working with Aleksandra for a while now in private sessions, supervision and women's circles and am thrilled to have found her after a long search for just the right therapist who has a bottom up approach (not just CBT), helps me to explore all parts of myself and trusts in my ability to heal.Previously I have always felt like I have been failing in life and therapy and now I live life from curiousity, love and acceptance.Thank you Aleks for all that you do, for your passion and commitment to this work and for your generosity of heart.

Whether it be a 1:1 or a group workshop, each visit to Aleks' Studio has left me feeling moved, supported and safe. Aleks draws from a deep well of knowledge, intellect and experience. The unique blend of styles that Aleks uses has been exactly what I've needed to delve deeper into my journey of self and motherhood. Very big thank you to Dr. Aleks and the healing space that she has created.

Aleks is a wonderful therapist and facilitator with a range of tools, skills and experience that she draws on with such grace and fluidity. Aleks has an incredible capacity for holding a compassionate and safe space, one that has supported and allowed for some of the deepest transformations, awareness and healing I've experienced. I looked for a therapist for many many months as I was seeking a very unique combination of education, experience and personal qualities that I found in Aleks. Highly recommended and would give 6 stars if I could.
