About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei, BACP, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. He supports adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and addiction. He also works with people facing intimacy concerns, career worries, self-esteem issues and ADHD-related difficulties.
Alexander uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what feels overwhelming. He draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas to focus on the relationship between how someone feels now and their earlier experiences. Sessions look at current patterns in thinking and behaviour and how these affect daily life.
He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when practical steps are helpful. That can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying different behaviours, and testing small changes between sessions. Narrative and existential ideas are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and the choices they face.
People sometimes come with family and parenting concerns. Alexander will talk through how those pressures link with stress, communication and boundaries. He avoids jargon and aims to keep explanations clear and concrete so parents and adults can use what they discuss straight away.
His background emphasises relational work and understanding how past attachments shape present struggles. Conversations tend to balance exploring feelings and planning simple, realistic steps to reduce strain. If you want to begin, he asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
The counsellor draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current reactions and closeness with others. This helps when intimacy, trust or repeat patterns are causing stress.Client-centred work is about being listened to and understood without judgement. It focuses on the person’s priorities and helps people find their own solutions to parenting and relationship problems.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. These methods are practical and often suit people who want specific steps to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms.
Finding which approach fits is part of the process. Alexander will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and work collaboratively to adapt methods over time.
Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as these are not listed in his biography. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around childcare, work breaks or tight schedules. Others prefer a shorter phone check-in when they need a quick review rather than a full session. Registered or accredited professionals commonly aim to make sessions fit everyday life and responsibilities.
