About Alexandra
Alexandra Thomas trained first as a nurse and brings that hands-on health background into her counselling work. She uses a gentle, person-centred style to help people feel heard and understood. Alexandra has three years of placements and counselling experience, and she has built around nine hundred hours of therapy practice when counting earlier work.
Her nursing experience spans hospitals and care homes, which shaped a holistic way of looking after people. That perspective informs how she listens in sessions and how she considers stress, illness, and caregiving concerns.
Alexandra follows Client-Centred Therapy as her main approach but describes her work as integrative. She may draw on ideas from other models when that suits a person’s situation. Conversations focus on the client’s needs, feelings and goals rather than technical terminology.
She has worked with adults, students, young people and women across topics such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties. Alexandra also addresses areas like body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and issues linked to adoption and attachment.
Sessions are carried out in private practice and include in-person, online and telephone options as part of her working arrangements. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to therapist availability.
Approaches used online and what they look like
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what they hear, helping people understand their feelings and decide on next steps. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Alexandra describes her work as integrative, so she may bring in ideas from other models when it helps. That flexibility means practical tools or conversational techniques can be added alongside person-centred listening to match a person’s needs.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Alexandra will work collaboratively to agree what feels most helpful based on the client’s goals and preferences. Conversations about how sessions are run and what to try next are ongoing rather than fixed up front.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and caring roles and can reduce travel time. Telephone sessions can be a good option when a shorter check-in or less data usage is needed. Because session formats can change, confirm the current options before booking so arrangements match your routine and access needs.
