Dr Alexandra Boughey

Hello, I’m Dr Alexandra Boughey, a Clinical Psychologist and founder of ABle Therapies.

I created ABle Therapies from a simple but powerful belief: people are far more capable than they often feel. When life becomes overwhelming, it can cloud your sense of ability, confidence, and direction.

My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, understand your experiences, and build practical tools for meaningful change. Ultimately, supporting you in discovering what you are able to achieve.

I’m a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC; Registration Number PYL040002)

My professional background

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in Liverpool with experience working across NHS; private practice; community and forensic health settings.

My training includes:

• Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy)
• Masters of Science – Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging
• BSc in Psychology
• Ongoing professional development in evidence-based therapies

Specialisms and experience

I am committed to providing therapy that is ethical, confidential, and grounded in the latest psychological research. I am experienced in working with adults and adolescents experiencing:

• Anxiety disorders
• Depression and low mood
• Trauma and PTSD
• Stress and burnout
• Relationship difficulties
• Self-esteem and identity concerns
• Health related distress

My Therapeutic Approach

I work in an integrative way, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Trauma-focused approaches – EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT
• Mindfulness
• Relational therapies

I also provide ADHD Assessments in Liverpool

I aim to create a space where you feel:

• Heard without judgement
• Understood rather than analysed
• Supported but not pressured
• Challenged gently when helpful
• Empowered to make lasting change

I value authenticity, warmth, and curiosity. Therapy works best when there is trust, openness, and a shared commitment to growth.

Working Together

Choosing a psychologist is an important decision. I offer an initial consultation so we can explore whether working together feels like the right fit. If you’re ready to take the next step, I would be honoured to support you.

At ABle Therapies, the focus isn’t on what’s “wrong” with you — it’s on what you’re able to become.
