About Alexandra

Alexandra Thomas helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger and low self-esteem using a person-centred approach. She works in an open, talk-based way and brings in other ideas when they help. Alexandra is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS credentials, with three years’ recent counselling experience.

She trained first in nursing and worked in hospitals and nursing homes. That clinical background shaped how she listens and responds to practical problems. Alexandra completed a Level 4 counselling qualification last April after three placements during her training.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with career change, eating issues, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric questions, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, cancer, chronic pain and caregiver stress.

Alexandra reports around nine hundred hours of therapy practice when counting earlier work from twenty years ago through to now. She works in private practice and offers sessions in person, online and by telephone. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session via the service. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

How Alexandra uses person-centred work in online sessions

Alexandra primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions through reflective conversation. This approach suits issues like stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief because it centres the person’s experience and pace.

She also integrates other useful ideas when they support the person-centred work. Those additions are drawn in on an as-needed basis to address specific problems such as addiction, trauma, or eating-related issues while keeping the client’s goals central.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Alexandra will discuss what helps, try different approaches within sessions, and agree next steps with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences.

If you want online sessions, confirm the exact formats before booking since the biography lists online and telephone as options but does not detail session arrangements. Online and telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, allow a quicker check-in between commitments, or reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to suit the medium chosen.
