About Alexandra

Alexandra Thomas trained originally as a nurse and brings that practical healthcare background into her counselling work. She uses simple, person‑centred ways of working and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. Alexandra holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has built up about three years of focused counselling placements alongside earlier clinical hours from nursing roles.

Her experience includes working with adults, students, young people and women, and she draws on a holistic perspective shaped by hospital and nursing‑home work. Alexandra mainly follows the Person Centred approach and sometimes borrows ideas from other methods to suit a person’s needs. She aims for clear, down‑to‑earth conversations rather than jargon.

In sessions she helps people talk through issues such as grief, trauma, self‑esteem, addiction and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns and attachment or abandonment worries. Conversations are paced to the individual, with space to reflect and make practical steps between meetings.

Alexandra has completed a Level 4 counselling qualification and has accumulated around nine hundred therapy practice hours when including earlier nursing work. That mix of health and counselling experience informs how she listens and responds.

She works from a private practice in the United Kingdom and offers a mixture of in‑person, online and telephone sessions. Readers should confirm current session options when arranging an appointment.

How Alexandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alexandra mainly follows a Person Centred approach, which means she focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what a person is experiencing. This approach is useful for people facing anxiety, depression, grief or relationship concerns because it centres the conversation on the person’s own priorities.

She also uses a holistic perspective informed by her nursing background, attending to practical life factors as well as emotions. That can help when clients are coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress or complex life changes by tying emotional work to everyday routines and self‑care.

Finding the right way of working is part of the journey. Alexandra will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt her style to match a person’s needs and goals. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are collaborative and revisited as therapy progresses.

Her practice offers online and telephone sessions alongside in‑person meetings according to the biography, but readers should confirm the current session options before booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these formats to help therapy fit into everyday life without changing its purpose.
