About Alexander

Alexander "Alex" Curran is a United Kingdom based therapist with 16 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, grief and depression. He combines practical coaching for rehabilitation and high-pressure situations with therapeutic work, helping individuals navigate life changes and regain a sense of balance.

Alex adopts a person-centered style that lets conversations move at the client’s pace, avoiding technical jargon so sessions remain clear and approachable. He has worked with a broad age range - from primary school children through to adults - and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions that encourages honest reflection and steady progress.

His clinical toolkit includes approaches that complement one another to address both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. Alex is trained with professional credentials including BACP and NCPS, which indicate recognised qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy. He aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore emotions, build coping strategies, and work toward practical goals. Anyone facing a difficult period, whether arising from relationships, mental health challenges, or life transitions, is invited to reach out and discuss options for support.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Alexander "Alex" Curran uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, helping people feel heard and supported while they identify their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is offered to help clients explore and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical exercises that can reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy is also used to develop present-moment awareness and coping skills that can ease stress and improve emotional regulation.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. Alex works with clients to assess needs, preferences and goals, and adapts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility limits. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to occur in settings that feel most comfortable for the client.
