About Alexandra

Alexandra Thomas trained originally in nursing and brings that healthcare background into her counselling work. She uses a person-centred style and keeps sessions straightforward and human. She aims to make the room a place where people can talk about stress, anxiety, anger and the daily pressures that overwhelm them.

Her approach builds on practical listening and steady presence. She explains things simply and helps people name what they are feeling. When needed she adapts ideas from other methods to suit the person in front of her rather than following a rigid protocol.

Alexandra completed a Level 4 counselling qualification in April, after three placements over three years. She records around nine hundred hours of therapy practice when counting earlier practice from twenty years ago. Her background in nursing included hospital and nursing home work, which influences her holistic view of wellbeing.

Sessions focus on what matters now, such as managing anger, coping with change, or dealing with grief and low mood. She also supports people facing relationship concerns, addictions, long-term health issues and career stress. Clients often work on self-esteem, communication problems and attachment-related difficulties.

Alexandra works from private practice in the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. The first step is a short matching process to find a suitable booking and session time that fits the person’s life.

How a person-centred approach fits with online therapy

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, respect and helping people find their own solutions. The counsellor offers warm, non-judgemental attention and follows the person's lead to understand feelings like anger, anxiety or grief. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through important decisions or regain a sense of control.

Alexandra also works in an integrative way at times, bringing in ideas from other models when they match the person's goals. That means the work is shaped to individual needs rather than sticking to one single method. Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process between the counsellor and the person seeking help.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, saving travel time and letting people connect from wherever they are. Telephone sessions may suit shorter check-ins or times when video is not possible. The counsellor offers session options in her practice, but confirm the exact formats available before booking so they fit your schedule and daily routines.
