About Alexandra
BACP. 11 years’ experience. Alexandra Squires works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating issues, low self-esteem and depression using approaches she lists as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. She offers counselling in English from the United Kingdom.
Alexandra describes her role as listening and helping people talk through difficult feelings. She helps people who are struggling with motivation and confidence, and those facing separation or changes in caregiving roles. She also works with concerns such as attachment, abandonment, body image and chronic illness where these affect daily life.
In sessions she draws on client-centred ideas to focus on what matters to the person in the room. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different ways of responding. Mindfulness approaches are introduced to support moment-to-moment awareness, and psychodynamic ideas can be used to look at patterns that repeat over time.
People can expect practical conversation alongside space to reflect. Alexandra aims to be straightforward about the options and to help people choose what to try next. Work may include talking, simple behavioural tasks and noticing patterns between sessions.
Her background spans eleven years working in the field. The BACP credential shown is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration noted in her profile. Sessions are conducted in English and she is based in the United Kingdom.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Alexandra lists Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among her main approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person space to say what matters to them and on responding to their priorities; it suits people who need time to clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves looking at thinking patterns and testing changes in behaviour; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and eating-related concerns.Finding the right approach is something the counsellor works through with the client. She will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest which methods to try. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs and priorities evolve.
The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make regular contact easier to sustain. Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use a range of ways to meet, and Alexandra will help agree arrangements that suit scheduling and the work people want to do.
