About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports people coping with grief, intimacy-related difficulties, addiction issues and life transitions. Alexander lists experience with ADHD, self-esteem, anger and career concerns as well as compassion fatigue and parenting strains.
Alexander works in a human-centred way. He offers a non-judgemental, compassionate stance to help people feel heard. He draws on several approaches to match the work to each person rather than using a single fixed method.
Over the course of sessions, Alexander looks at patterns in thinking, feelings and behaviour. He uses a psychodynamic perspective to consider how past experiences and early relationships shape current difficulties. He also uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy to help with unhelpful thinking and day-to-day coping.
Conversation is at the heart of his work. Alexander aims to build a trusting relationship where clients can talk through painful experiences and begin to make different choices. He places emphasis on understanding how people relate to themselves and others and on helping clients regain a sense of connection and intimacy.

How Alexander’s approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or feeling safe in relationships to understand recurring patterns and try different ways of relating.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client find their own pace and answers, which can suit people unsure where to begin or feeling overwhelmed.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexander will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and situation. That process is gradual and tailored to preferences and needs.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Please confirm which session options are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific online formats. Registered or accredited professionals can make online therapy work around work, caregiving and travel demands without asking you to change your routine drastically.
