How to Land Your Dream Acting Job in 12 Steps.
In my coaching programme for actors
Shit just got real! They liked your self-tape of Ingrid from “White Oleander” and you’ve been called in for an auditon with the casting agent. You’re sitting on a dark brown stool in the corner of a draughty 10m x 5m west London dance studio. Actresses are standing around in clusters, clasping their scripts and nervously going over their lines. Your heart is thumping in your chest. You know you’ve really connected with this text and delivered a raw, emotional and powerful performance in rehearsal. You desparately hope you can pull it off again…..but you don’t. Try as you might you can’t let go and get vulnerable. You remain in your head. You’re so disapointed and get really critical with yourself. You know you can pull off a really good performance but this just wasn’t one of them no matter how hard you prepared and tried. You can tell by the casting agent’s look that you won’t be getting a call back. You don’t want to feel too crushed but you can’t help it, all your hopes are dashed just like that.
ACTING IS YOUR VOCATION BUT YOU feel BLOCKED
Acting has been your dream forever. It lights up your soul. You enjoy the playfulness and the fun and joy of it. You love vibing off your scene partner and collaborating in a production. You relish using your imagination to creatively interpret and tell a story your way. You know you have the potential. You believe that we should follow our dream in life and acting is your dream. You fear an empty and flat life or even depression if you don’t get to make a career out of acting.
You yearn to be truly 'seen'

You yearn to find a highly experienced and expert therapist-coach for actors who understands acting and gets you, has seen it all before, normalises what you’re experiencing and helps you create mind-blowing shifts. Now that would be amazing!
Whether you need career guidance or movement and vocal support, here I am! You can sign up for a package of 3-month or 6-month weekly sessions which starts by the two of us deciding together on the specific goals you want to address. The approach is holistic and each session you are invited to connect with your embodied experience. The sessions invite you to be more relational and focus on the ‘between’ so that you develop skills to bring to your dialogues. You do experiments such as getting your body to speak so that you connect with your body more when acting. You do Gestalt 2-chair work to speak with and get to know your critical voice, anxious parts and your saboteur. You do EMDR resourcing techniques which you use as a tool in your acting as well as in your day to day living. You do attachment-focussed EMDR to target and convert negative beliefs into positive beliefs. You also try IFS parts work and it really helps you to feel less overwhelmed by your anxious part and find ways to calm it.
What if there was a coach-therapist who in 12 steps could get you closer to your dream role in Bridgerton?

Hello
Meet your new acting coach, Alexandra
I’m Alexandra, a highly experienced psychotherapist who has undergone 6 years of rigorous training and has been seeing clients for over 12 years. I’m passionate about acting and am training as an actress. I know first-hand what the challenges of acting are. I know what it is like to lack confidence, to try too hard, to be too tense, not connected to the text, to feel numb, not embodied and not present to my acting partner. I've tried and tested the programme I teach to unlock my acting. I”m not saying I’m going to win an Oscar any time soon but I really do believe targeted therapy can help actors create a positive shift.
It feels like my calling to support you as an artist to unlock your potential and make a career of acting. As Meisner says;" being an actor is a religious calling because you've been given the ability, the gift to inspire humanity. Think about that on the way to your soap opera audition”
£1000 - 3 -month programme
Your Investment
£2000 - 6- month programme
12 x 55 -minute sessions every week for 12 consecutive weeks (3 months). This includes the initial assessment where I find out as much as possible about you including your current life situation as well as your childhood and the years up to now. We then get crystal clear on what we are trying to shift e.g. which negative belief, which sabotating or inhibiting behaviour. I then let you know which therapeutic interventions will be most helpful for you which could be a combinaton of Gestalt Therapy, EMDR therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy. We meet weekly on the same day and time to keep progressing towards our goal. We can also collaborate on actions for you to try outside of our sessions. This package is appropriate if you have a certain level of self-awareness and/or have had therapy before and you are fairly happy with your life situation other than your acting career.
24 x 55-minute sessions every week for 24 consecutive weeks (6 months). The same offering however the longer time means we can do even more in-depth work to truly change the foundations of how you think, feel and behave. This package is appropriate for you if you haven’t had therapy before and know you have long-standing unhelpful patterns (possibly due to attachment trauma) that have been around all of your adult life.
