About Alex

She offers a warm, genuine presence and straightforward support for people facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain.

Background and approach
Sessions are shaped by what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed agenda. Alex works with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, anger and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, career worries and long-term health problems.
Her approach emphasises listening, reflection and gentle challenge to help people find practical steps forward. Clients can expect straightforward language and a calm, non-judgemental attitude. Alex encourages realistic goals and small changes that fit into everyday life.
She invites people to move at their own pace and to name what they need from counselling. In session Alex helps people build clearer communication, manage difficult emotions and develop coping strategies. Her style is human and down-to-earth, intended for anyone who wants steady support while they figure things out.
She welcomes conversation about practical options and next steps.

How Client-Centred Work Fits Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the person says, asks gentle questions and helps them make sense of their feelings. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, depression, relationship strain and parenting worries.Alex uses a human-centred way of working that encourages people to set the pace and the agenda. She will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt the approach as the work develops. Together they decide on goals, adjust methods and review progress so the therapy suits the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections and fitting therapy into a busy day. These options give flexibility for those balancing work, parenting and other commitments.
