About Alexandra

Alexandra Thomas trained initially in nursing and moved into counselling after years working in hospitals and care homes. She combines that practical background with a person-centred approach to therapy. Alexandra aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, relationships, loss, and big life changes.

Her nursing experience shapes how she listens and responds. She uses an integrative style but mainly follows Client-Centred Therapy, bringing in other ideas when they help. Sessions draw on her hands-on work with adults, students, young people and women.

Alexandra completed a Level 4 qualification last April after three placements over three years. She also holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Between current practice and earlier hours, she has around nine hundred therapy practice hours in total.

She works from a private practice in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in person, online and by telephone. English is the language used for sessions, and she accepts international clients.

People often come for help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addictions and midlife concerns. Alexandra also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship issues, caregiving strain and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and warm, focusing on what matters most to each person.

How Alexandra Applies Client-Centred Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel heard and better understand their own thoughts and feelings, which can ease anxiety, stress, and relationship worries.

Alexandra also describes an integrative approach, which means she will bring in other helpful ideas when needed. That flexibility can assist with issues such as grief, caregiving strain, and coping with life changes by tailoring the conversation to each person's situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to decide what feels useful and adjust the way she works as goals and needs become clearer. That collaborative process helps people try things that suit their pace and preferences.
