About Alexandra
Alexandra Thomas is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS with three years' recent experience. She began her career in nursing, working in hospitals and nursing homes, and moved into counselling after completing a Level 4 qualification. She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
She describes a person-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the client's own aims and pace. Alexandra also draws on other approaches when they help, and she will introduce different ideas when useful.
Clients come with many kinds of problems: anger, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and intimacy-related issues are common themes. She also supports people dealing with family matters, adoption and foster care questions, ageing and caregiver stress, chronic illness and cancer related concerns.
Her background in nursing shapes how she notices practical and physical aspects of someone's life. That experience informs how she talks through coping with chronic pain, illness and disability, and with the real stresses of caregiving roles.
Sessions cover everyday pressures too, such as work and career strain, communication and commitment issues, control and emptiness, eating and body image concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Alexandra sees adults and young people and offers sessions in person, online and by telephone from her private practice.
She records around nine hundred hours of therapeutic practice when including earlier work, and aims to work at a steady, straightforward pace with each person.
How sessions work
How her person-centred approach works online
Alexandra primarily uses a person-centred approach. That involves focusing on what the client wants to work on and following their pace. It suits concerns where being heard and understood helps, such as relationship strain, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief.She may introduce other ideas when they can help move a problem forward. These additions are used alongside the person-centred core to address practical matters like coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress or addiction-related behaviours. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try and adjust them as needed.
Many people choose online or telephone sessions to fit counselling into busy days. Online work can make it easier to have regular appointments around childcare, work or medical commitments and to keep momentum between sessions. The biography lists in-person, online and telephone as session types; confirm the exact options available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals will talk through session length, schedule and what to expect so sessions fit everyday life.
