Alexander Szendrei , BACP

Alexander Szendrei (BACP) is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience working with individuals and groups. He approaches therapy with compassion and a non-judgmental stance, believing that people often carry pain from past experiences and can find themselves navigating difficult, confusing periods in life.

Alexander emphasizes the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship and creates a calm, accepting space as a foundation for change. As an integrative practitioner he draws from multiple therapeutic models to tailor an approach that fits each person, paying attention to how early relationships and life events may shape current patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This exploration helps clarify unhelpful patterns and opens possibilities for more constructive ways of relating to oneself and others.

He focuses on helping clients work through relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anxiety and stress, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and body image concerns, parenting challenges, career and self-esteem issues, ADHD, and a range of attachment and family dynamics. Alexander aims to reduce internal conflict, strengthen emotional connection and self-understanding, and support clients as they rebuild a sense of connectedness and purpose in daily life.

Approaches to Online Therapy and How They Help

Alexander commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships and emotions - it is useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, or long-standing attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive space where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client to find their own solutions - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to develop practical coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Alexander works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - Alexander offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for emotional work.
