About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 11 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those who want to address relationship problems, eating concerns, low self-esteem and motivation. Alexandra focuses on practical conversations that help people notice what matters to them next and consider small, workable steps forward.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen to each person’s perspective and build a collaborative plan. She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with overwhelming feelings and ground attention in the present.
Her approach is straightforward. She invites people to talk about difficult feelings and past patterns. Together they look at what keeps problems going and what might be changed. The work often mixes present-focused coping skills with attention to longer-standing dynamics.
Alexandra has supported people through challenges such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment issues and the strains of caregiving. She also addresses body image, chronic pain or illness, and separation or divorce concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in the UK. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to discuss goals and next steps.
How Alexandra uses therapy methods in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies priorities and works with the person to set goals. This approach is helpful for people who want space to talk through choices and emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase distress and testing small behavioural changes. It offers practical exercises for anxiety, low mood, relationship habits and eating-related behaviours.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills to reduce overwhelm and bring focus back to the present. Short practices can be used between sessions to manage strong emotions and cravings.
Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss goals and preferences in the first meeting and agree a plan together. She aims to adapt techniques to what fits a person’s life and concerns rather than using one fixed method.
Confirm the precise online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people video helps keep visual connection, while phone calls can be a simpler option when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed.
