More about Alexandra
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- NCPS
I am licensed in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space where we can explore what has been going on for you, help you to understand and process your difficulties and support you. I am a warm and empathic therapist. I work safely from my own home online, where there will be no distractions and you as the client, are able to share your problems safely and confidentiality.
I work in a Person-Centred way, which means I put you and your experiences at the core of our work together.
I am non-directive, which means that you decide what you want to bring to your therapy, but I can promise you that we will go wherever it leads together.
I aim to offer a calm and accepting place for you to explore your life, come to terms with an issue, or confront something troubling you. I really recommend video call for counselling, it will allow us to build a good, healthy relationship and you will be able to see who you are talking to. However, this is your choice and if you choose to schedule a phone call, or message we are still able to work together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
