About Alexander

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. He also supports those dealing with addiction, low self‑esteem, career strain, depression and the practical challenges that come with major life changes. He uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people understand their feelings and next steps.

Alexander works from an integrative humanistic outlook and emphasises the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship. He offers non‑judgemental listening and aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and on making changes that fit everyday life.

He draws on a range of approaches to tailor work to each person. Alexander uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current patterns. He also uses client‑centred ways of working to follow the client’s concerns and pace.

Cognitive methods are used when helpful to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Narrative techniques can help people rewrite difficult stories they carry about themselves. Existential ideas are available for those wanting to look at meaning, choice and values.

Alexander holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in his profile. He has four years of documented experience and works in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak for those who prefer those languages.

If adoption and foster care issues are part of your story, Alexander lists this as an additional area of focus and can discuss how it fits into therapy during an initial match and scheduling step.

How Alexander's approaches work online

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can help uncover patterns that affect intimacy, abandonment feelings and trust. Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s immediate concerns and uses empathic listening to help clients find their own solutions and moves at their pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviours that maintain stress or anxiety, often using practical exercises between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needed. This helps the work feel relevant and realistic for everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular sessions. Other practical benefits include shorter check‑in meetings when needed and the ability to use written exercises between sessions to track progress.
