Therapist in Hampstead – Somatic CBT North London
Looking for a therapist near Hampstead who combines evidence-based psychology with body awareness?
I’m Carlos Alexandre, a somatic cognitive therapist with a practice conveniently located between Maida Vale and St John’s Wood, working with young professionals across North London who are dealing with stress, anxiety, and confidence challenges.
My approach integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with somatic practices, particularly the Alexander Technique. This means we work with both your thought patterns and how stress manifests physically – addressing tension, breathing patterns, and bodily responses that can maintain anxiety.
Hampstead residents can easily reach my practice via the Jubilee Line or local bus routes. Whether you’re facing workplace pressure, struggling with imposter syndrome, or dealing with persistent worry, my integrative approach helps you develop practical, sustainable tools for managing stress and building confidence.

How I Support Young Professionals
As a somatic cognitive therapist serving Hampstead, I support clients with:

- Performance anxiety and imposter syndrome
- Physical manifestations of stress (tension, breathing issues)
- Career pressure and transitions
- Work-life balance difficulties
My Therapeutic Approach
I combine two complementary approaches:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy:
We explore and change the thinking patterns, beliefs, and behaviours that maintain stress and anxiety, using evidence-based techniques.
Somatic Awareness:
Through the Alexander Technique, we work with how stress lives in your body – posture, tension patterns, breathing, and physical habits that can reinforce anxiety.
Together, these approaches address the full picture of how stress affects you.
What to Expect in Sessions
Sessions are 50 minutes and take place at my practice between Maida Vale and St John’s Wood. We start with an initial consultation to discuss your goals and ensure my approach is right for you.
The work is collaborative and practical, providing tools you can use immediately whilst also addressing deeper patterns that may be maintaining stress or anxiety.
