About Alexandra

Alexandra Grimes offers a calm, respectful approach for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. She focuses on listening first, helping clients name what matters, and working at a pace that feels right for each person. Alexandra uses straightforward conversation to help people understand their feelings and make manageable changes.

With five years of experience, Alexandra draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts sessions to the person in front of her and builds a shared plan rather than imposing one.

Background and approach

That means the topics you bring set the agenda and shape the work. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Other areas she supports include problems with sleep and eating, addictions, parenting strains, self-esteem and life transitions.

Alexandra also addresses concerns such as attachment and communication problems, body image, chronic illness-related stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions can include practical steps from cognitive approaches, open-ended reflection from psychodynamic thinking, and solution-focused ideas for short-term goals. Alexandra aims to make therapy useful and down-to-earth, so people leave with clearer steps and a greater sense of control.

She works online from the United Kingdom and speaks English. People who prefer video, phone or text-based options can choose what fits their routine and comfort. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alexandra combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit remote work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and putting your experience at the heart of sessions, which helps people feel heard and respected even over video. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and simple tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Both approaches can be used to address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Alexandra will discuss your goals, try techniques that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. She encourages clients to give feedback about what helps so sessions stay relevant and focused on real-life change.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls support visual connection and longer therapeutic conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, brief updates between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping a consistent therapeutic process with registered or accredited professionals.
