Dr Alexander Coles

Clinical psychologist

I am a clinical psychologist within the Emmeline Centre and Complications Associated with Excess Weight Service. This means I try and help people with how they think and how they feel.
Alexander Coles

My current role

I work with children and young people and their families and carers. I work with families affected by hearing loss and families affected by complications associated with excess weight.

Previous history

I previously worked in a family therapy team. Before that, I was training to be a clinical psychologist and worked in lots of different teams.

I have often worked with children and their families. In one role I worked with a video game company to help them develop an app for children affected by anxiety.

Membership and accreditations

I am a member of HCPC.

Personal interests

I find interest in almost everything! The thing I like most is getting to meet people - and I have the perfect job for that.

I have lived experience of going to therapy for my own mental health and aim to help others as I was helped.

In my free time I like watching Cardiff City, playing cricket, bird watching, tending to my allotment, learning Serbian, practicing yoga, playing banjo, listening to music, outdoor swimming, and lots more!
