Coming Back to Ourselves
Sessions North West London NW8
About Carlos
For years, I struggled with emotional distress and disconnection until I discovered the Alexander Technique during a stage workshop. It helped me connect body, mind, emotions, and spirit, teaching me to meet discomfort with awareness and presence. After 10 years of private sessions, I trained as a teacher and graduated in 2016. I now teach at the Alexander Technique Training School in London and offer private sessions. Later, I trained as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and am an accredited practitioner, integrating both methods to help others through embodied awareness and cognitive change.
What Is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique is a somatic practice that helps us observe how we relate to ourselves and the world. It reveals our habitual patterns of reaction—mental and physical—as a unified mind-body response. By becoming aware of these habits, we create space for more easeful and conscious ways of moving and being.
Reduce back and neck pain
The Alexander Technique helps reduce chronic or postural back and neck pain. It’s not a treatment but an educational method that improves body-mind awareness. By changing habitual reactions, it supports more balanced and efficient movement in daily activities.
Improve posture and breathing
The technique helps you notice habits like slouching or neck tension and allows natural posture and breathing to return without forced control.
Relieve stress and tension
The Alexander Technique eases stress by improving posture, movement, and body awareness.
Enhance performance (music, acting, speaking)
The Alexander Technique helps performers reduce tension, improve control, and breathe more freely, promoting calmness under pressure.
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that helps people identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. It’s based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected, so by changing unhelpful thoughts, you can improve your emotions and behaviours. CBT is used to treat anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health issues, and it teaches practical skills to cope better with challenges.
