About
What is Vive & Inspire
about?
Put simply, Vive & Inspire is about helping people live their best lives and inspiring others along the way.
We believe that real, lasting change begins when we reconnect with ourselves. We embrace the idea that inspiration means being in-Spirit. When we're in-Spirit, we feel aligned, creative, and guided by something greater, whether that’s a deeper sense of self, a spiritual connection, or simply the clarity to move forward with intention. Being in-Spirit is a direction, a way of living that invites awareness, compassion, and courage.
Living an inspired life means daring to believe in what’s possible, even when the path ahead is unclear. True inspiration is not about having everything figured out. It’s about saying yes to your healing, and to the quiet knowing that you are meant for more.
At Vive & Inspire, we understand that the human experience can be overwhelming. Perhaps you find yourself stuck in cycles of anxiety, fear, or low self-worth. Maybe you're navigating grief, addiction, trauma, or heartbreak, feeling disconnected from who you are and who you want to be. We are here to walk alongside you with safety and compassion.
We see therapy not just as a service, but as a relationship, a sacred space where your voice matters, your pain is held with care, and your goals are honoured. Our approach is integrative and holistic, blending evidence-based techniques with deep intuitive presence. You are welcome as you are, always. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to take one step, and we’ll meet you there.

Kyran Ilich
Hi, I’m Kyran! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m a qualified counsellor, hypnotherapist, and addictions practitioner - part of the BACP. My journey through addiction, depression, and the painful loss of identity have shaped me in profound ways. I know what it's like to feel lost, trapped, isolated, and disconnected from purpose - unsure of how to begin again. That’s why I do this work: to walk alongside others who are finding their way back to themselves. My healing began the moment I stepped into a counselling space. I would like to offer that back to others in the best way possible. My approach is grounded and compassionate. Whether you’re facing addiction, emotional pain, change, identity confusion, or just a sense that life has lost its colour, know that healing is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to offer a space where honesty is met with understanding, and respect. Lets build healthier patterns together and move toward a life that feels real, grounded, and meaningful! No matter how dim hope may be, I want to help be the light that shines through darkness.

Alejandra Lopez
Hi, I’m Alejandra – founder of Vive & Inspire. I’m a licensed psychotherapist, counsellor, and practitioner in both EMDR and addictions, as well as a registered member of the BACP. At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the human capacity for healing, growth, and transformation. I believe that no matter how lost, overwhelmed, or broken we may feel, there's always a way forward, and everyone deserves the chance to discover that path of peace, meaning and potential within themselves. I bring a warm, down-to-earth presence to therapy. Within my years of experience supporting individuals and couples from all walks of life, my mission is to help create a space where you can safely explore your experiences, your traumas, pain, and issues, and learn how to reconnect with your true self, and begin making long lasting change. I specialise in Transactional Analysis, a model of built off of internal programs and scripts from which we communicate. This style I implement and personalise in both couples and individuals. When we know who we are, only then can we truly live authentically and in alignment with our core values and essence. I’m here to walk beside you as you create the life and relationships you deserve.
Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.
