Alexandra Thomas, BACP, NCPS

Alexandra Thomas trained first in nursing and later moved into counselling work.

About Alexandra

Alexandra Thomas trained first in nursing and later moved into counselling work. Her early career in hospitals and nursing homes shaped a care-focused approach. She uses those experiences to guide how she listens and responds in sessions.

She describes her therapy style as person-centred, which means she places the client at the heart of the conversation. Alexandra aims to create space for people to talk through what matters to them.

Background and approach

She also draws on other methods when it will help, using an integrative mindset rather than a single fixed model. Her formal counselling qualification is Level 4, completed in April, and she has worked across three placements during training. Alexandra reports about three years of more recent counselling experience and around nine hundred hours of therapy practice when earlier work is included.

Clients come for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting and family-related worries. She also lists additional focuses such as ADHD, attachment, eating and body image issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and life changes like divorce or bereavement. Sessions are available in person, online and by phone.

Alexandra works in independent practice in the United Kingdom and offers support in English. Her background in nursing is used to inform a holistic, people-focused approach to counselling rather than a medical model.

How person-centred work translates online

Person-centred therapy places the client's experience at the centre of each session. It involves attentive listening, reflecting what the person says, and encouraging exploration of feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, grief and many life transitions.

Alexandra also adopts an integrative stance when helpful, drawing on other ideas alongside person-centred work. That means she will adapt the style and techniques to suit a person's goals and the issue they bring, working together to find what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a conversational, face-to-face experience. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or who want brief, flexible support between other commitments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods and session formats best match their needs, goals and daily life. Many people find the variety of online options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
