Andrea Alexander is a passionate certified Core Energetics body/somatic psychotherapist practitioner. She has completed five years of training with the former Australian Institute of Core Energetics and four years with the Institute of Energy Science. Andrea has been in full time private practice for twenty three years. She draws on her diverse background of integrative energy therapies and mainstream psychology studies.
Andrea is an advocate for the power of ongoing individual therapy and she is dedicated to creating a sacred therapeutic environment that promotes lasting healing and transformation. She has a special interest in trauma, particularly attachment trauma and has attended workshops nationally and internationally to explore the latest techniques in trauma resolution. Andrea is committed to her own growth and continues her own individual sessions.
One of Andrea’s greatest loves is to work with relationships. She is an established couples therapist and has a high success rate in helping couples to reconnect with the love and eros in their relationship and reach a deeper level of love, sexuality and fulfilment.
Her other great passion is creating and supporting a vibrant therapeutic community where there is authentic expression, love, support and the opportunity to establish meaningful and lasting relationships. She facilitates ongoing process groups and has founded this Institute to deliver a training program that is professional, ethical, skillful, body-orientated and heart centered.
