About Alexandra
Her practice covers trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression and anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, domestic abuse, and life changes. She aims to create an open, comfortable, and non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored with sensitivity and respect. Alexandra’s style is warm and interactive, encouraging collaboration and honest dialogue.
Her therapeutic approach draws on cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, and psychodynamic ideas, and she adapts conversations and plans to meet each person’s specific needs. Alexandra focuses on tailoring sessions so that the work reflects the client’s goals and circumstances. She recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and seeks to walk alongside people through their challenges so they can move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Online therapeutic approaches for recovery and support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client sets goals and the therapist offers non-directive support to explore feelings and personal values. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of conversation designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, making it especially useful when addressing addictions or ambivalence about treatment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Alexandra works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the way she uses these approaches so therapy feels relevant and manageable for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access support from different locations and at times that fit their life. This range of options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different formats until the most comfortable and effective way to work together is found.
