About me

My name is Lex Mabbott and I am a therapist, working in Nottingham and remotely.

After a career in the book trade, I decided to retrain as a therapist. My interest in mental health started as personal one: I wanted to feel better, and therapy really helped me with that. I started to advocate for access to mental health services, as my experience has been transformative. I then decided to use my lived experience to help others by training as a therapist. I trained at the renowned Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute, and received a first class honours degree in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy.

In addition to my private practice, I have work as a therapist at the Nottingham Women’s Centre, where I specialise in working with women and non-binary people who have survived trauma and face multiple disadvantages.

I attend regular clinical supervision and engage in my own personal therapy to ensure I am working safely and ethically. I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I adhere to their ethical code.

For self-care, I enjoy walking my dog, reading, cooking, and crocheting.
