Alexander Szendrei

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, anger and relationship concerns. He also helps with grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues and coping with life changes. Alexander works in English, Czech and Slovak and holds BACP accreditation.

Alexander describes therapy as a practical conversation where trust matters most. He aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space and listens to how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause pain and finding ways to change them.

He draws on a range of approaches rather than one fixed method. Alexander uses attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations. He also uses psychodynamic thinking to trace repeated patterns, and tools from cognitive behavioural methods to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

In sessions he works collaboratively, helping people name problems and try small, manageable changes. He pays attention to the wider context of relationships and everyday life so solutions fit real situations.

Alexander’s experience includes four years in the current clinical role alongside earlier work in individual and group settings. He encourages people to take things at their own pace and to check how a suggested approach feels in practice.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations in later life. In online sessions this means talking about patterns of closeness, trust and distance and how they show up now. Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and to steer the pace and focus of therapy. Cognitive behavioural methods break problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and try practical steps to shift them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and anger.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit the person’s needs. This is done together so approaches are tried and adjusted rather than imposed.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring duties, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy. It also lets people choose how they want to communicate in therapy, while the focus remains on practical conversations and finding changes that work day to day.
