About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also helps with grief, intimacy concerns, addiction, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and anger. Alexander is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in the United Kingdom.
He describes therapy as a place to talk without shame or judgement. Sessions focus on building trust and understanding what is causing pain now.
Background and approach
He takes a warm, human-centred approach that aims to make people feel heard and accepted. Alexander blends methods from different therapeutic traditions to match each person's needs. He draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
He uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person in front of him. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where unhelpful thinking and behaviours are getting in the way. Narrative and existential ideas help people make sense of their life story and find meaning during difficult transitions.
Over four years of practice have given him experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, eating issues, parenting strain and career stress. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
Subscription sessions are used and can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions; online sessions can use this to trace patterns and improve connection with others. Client-centred therapy puts the person's own concerns at the heart of the conversation, with the counsellor following and reflecting to help clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and give practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Used online, these tools can be practised between sessions and reviewed by message or in calls. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as progress is made. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection while saving travel time. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to check in quickly or to work in smaller steps when that suits someone's routine. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on what you want to change.Frequently asked
