About Alex

Alex Storey is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, and a wide range of family and parenting concerns. Her practice also covers relationship strain, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues.

She practises client-centred therapy, which keeps the person in the middle of each session. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own understanding of what matters. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the individual’s needs.

Alex draws on personal life experience as well as professional work to relate to difficult moments. She has supported people dealing with bullying, isolation, grief and complex emotional responses. She also works with issues such as eating concerns, anger, self-esteem and communication problems.

Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care matters, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image. Alex also lists experience with neurodiversity and personality-related patterns where these affect daily life.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions are for adults who want to talk through problems and try new ways of responding. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How Client-Centred Work Fits Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens and reflects rather than directing the outcome. This approach helps with grief, anxiety, relationship strain and parenting pressures by encouraging people to find their own solutions.

The aim is to respond to what matters most in the moment. Conversations are driven by the client’s concerns and pace, so the therapist helps clarify feelings and choices rather than imposing a plan. That collaborative attitude supports moving through life changes, coping with loss, and reducing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs together and adjust the way they work as understanding grows. This makes it easier to try different ways of talking and checking what helps.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online consultation options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people choose whether to be on camera depending on what feels useful for each session.
