Alex Storey, BACP

Alex Storey is a client-centred counsellor who places each person at the heart of the work. She keeps sessions focused on what matters to the client and aims to create a warm and genuine space to talk. With four years of practice she supports people through common midlife concerns and other life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and grounded. Sessions begin with listening to the client’s current struggles and priorities. She helps people name feelings, think through options, and find practical steps to reduce stress or manage anxiety.

Alex has worked with bereavement and loss, anxiety and depression, bullying and isolation, and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing career shifts, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and health-related stresses. Additional focus areas include body image, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and caregiving strain.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is the credential listed for her practice. Sessions are carried out in English and arranged from within the United Kingdom.

Alex describes herself as warm and genuine, and she draws on her own life experiences to inform her work. She encourages small, achievable steps and helps clients feel more settled as they cope with change or uncertainty.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the client's views and pace at the centre of each session. It involves active listening, reflecting feelings, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and midlife transitions by encouraging self-awareness and personal choices.

In practice, the counsellor focuses on understanding what matters to the person. She and the client decide together what to try next, whether that is talking through feelings, identifying small steps, or working on communication. That collaborative process helps tailor the approach to the individual's goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when clients only need a brief conversation. It can also suit people who prefer not to travel or who need to schedule around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can help choose whether remote sessions or another arrangement will best meet practical needs.
