About Alexandra

Alexandra Squires is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem. Alexandra also supports people who are struggling with relationship difficulties and eating concerns.

Her approach centres on building a trusting, non-judgemental space. Sessions aim to let people talk about what matters and to bring clarity to upsetting thoughts and feelings. Alexandra listens closely and helps people find small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

She uses a mix of methods to suit different needs. Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person and their experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress.

Mindfulness practices are used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Alexandra has also worked with issues connected to attachment, adoption and foster care, and abandonment. Other areas she addresses include body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, and communication problems.

This range reflects experience across varied life stages and situations. People who come to her often want practical support as well as emotional understanding. She encourages clear goals and collaborates on ways to reach them.

The aim is to help people regain a sense of agency and improve day-to-day coping.

Ways of working Alexandra names

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

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and explore their own solutions, which can be very useful for stress, low mood and relationship worries.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for anxiety and depression.

Mindfulness practice trains attention to the present moment and reduces reactivity to difficult feelings. Simple breathing and noticing exercises are easy to use in sessions and as brief daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and suit lower bandwidth conditions. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write when it fits their day or to manage anxiety without being on camera. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily responsibilities and changing schedules.
