Alexander Lajer

Welcome from Alexander Lajer

Hello, and a warm welcome! My name is Alexander Lajer. I am dedicated to supporting the emotional well-being and growth of young people at different stages of life in my practice in North London. My approach is creative, compassionate, and always tailored—whether you’re navigating childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood—to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to meet life’s challenges.

I believe everyone deserves a safe space to express themselves, build resilience, and discover their strengths. Whether through talking, play, art, or simply being present, I adapt my support to meet the unique needs of each person I work with, helping them thrive in their own way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sessions are warm, confidential, and tailored to you. For children, this might include play, art, or creative activities. For older children and adolescents, it may focus more on talking, reflection, and practical tools. Every session is a safe space to explore feelings and build resilience.
Play therapy is child-led and uses toys, games, and art to help children express feelings they may not have words for. Learn more in the Play Therapy article.
