About Alexandra

Alexandra Thomas trained first as a nurse and carried that hands-on care into her counselling work. She blends practical experience from hospitals and nursing homes with person-centred talking therapy. Alexandra uses a calm, straightforward approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and trauma.

She offers sessions in person, online and by phone across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English. Alexandra follows the Person Centred approach as her main method.

Background and approach

That means she listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. She often adapts ideas from other models when it serves the conversation and the person’s goals. She completed a Level 4 counselling qualification last April, following three placements over three years.

Her professional credentials include membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Across formal placements and past practice, Alexandra has accumulated around nine hundred hours of therapy work when counting experience from twenty years ago.

She has worked with adults, students, young people and women, and brings that varied background to each session. In the room Alexandra aims for practical conversations. She helps people talk through relationship problems, self-esteem and eating-related issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on realistic next steps.

Person Centred support and online therapy options

Alexandra mainly follows the Person Centred approach. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people make their own choices. This style can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and trauma where a supportive, non-judgemental space helps people explore feelings and options.

She also draws on other methods when they fit the person’s needs. These additional ideas are used sparingly to give practical ways to manage symptoms or daily challenges. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist and client work together to pick what suits the client’s goals and preferences.

Online work includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face feel. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, reflective notes or when writing feels easier. These formats make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, travel, or different time zones and allow the client to choose what fits their life.
