Dr Alex Hull

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting children, young people, and adults with a wide range of psychological difficulties. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in Newcastle and have worked across NHS and local authority services throughout the North East. Alongside my private practice, I have held roles working with complex presentations, including anxiety disorders, emotional difficulties, trauma, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD.

My approach is thoughtful, practical, and grounded in evidence-based psychological therapy. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I aim to understand the wider patterns that shape how people think, feel, and respond to the challenges in their lives. By developing a clear psychological understanding together, therapy can move beyond short-term relief and towards lasting change.

I have particular experience supporting people with anxiety, overthinking, emotional regulation difficulties, and ADHD. Many of the people I work with are intelligent and reflective individuals who may appear to be coping well externally but feel overwhelmed internally. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand these patterns, and develop healthier ways of responding to them.

Above all, I aim to provide a calm, respectful, and collaborative space where people feel able to speak openly and think clearly about what is happening in their lives. My goal is not only to help people feel better in the short term, but to help them develop a deeper understanding of themselves that supports their wellbeing long into the future.

I work with adults, young people, and families who are looking for thoughtful, evidence-based psychological support.

Many of the people who seek help are thoughtful and capable individuals who have been managing a great deal in their lives for some time. From the outside they may appear to be coping well, yet internally they may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, persistent overthinking, emotional pressure, or patterns that have become difficult to change alone.

I often work with people who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, stress, ADHD-related difficulties, or problems with emotional regulation. Some come with a clear understanding of what they would like help with, while others simply recognise that something does not feel quite right and want the space to understand it more clearly.

I also work with parents who are concerned about their child or teenager’s emotional wellbeing. In these situations, support may involve working directly with the young person, supporting parents to better understand what their child may be experiencing, or a combination of both.

Therapy can be particularly helpful for people who are open to reflecting on their experiences and who would value a clearer understanding of how their mind works. The aim is always to provide a calm, respectful space where difficulties can be understood more clearly and where practical ways of moving forward can begin to emerge.

 As a Clinical Psychologist, my work is guided by recognised professional and ethical standards.

I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the statutory regulator for practitioner psychologists in the United Kingdom. This ensures that my work meets nationally recognised standards of training, competence, and professional practice.

I have over a decade of clinical experience working across NHS and local authority services, supporting individuals, young people, and families with a wide range of psychological difficulties.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychological therapies and guided by current research in clinical psychology. This means that the work we do together is thoughtful, structured, and focused on creating meaningful and lasting change.
