Alexandra Grimes , NCPS

Alexandra Grimes is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience who supports people working through stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief and loss, and a wide range of other concerns. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional qualification, and combines warmth and empathy with a respectful, sensitive approach to each person she meets.

Working in a client-centered way, Alexandra places the client and their experience at the centre of therapy, adopting a non-directive stance that allows individuals to set the agenda while she accompanies them through whatever emerges. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s specific needs, helping clients to understand and process their difficulties and to build toward a more fulfilling life.

Alexandra describes herself as calm, accepting, and supportive, and she aims to empower clients to take steps toward change. She recommends video calls to build a strong therapeutic relationship, but also offers phone sessions and messaging options for those who prefer them. Alexandra works online from her home practice where she minimises distractions so clients can focus on the work, and she is accepting of international clients as well as those in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Alexandra commonly works from a client-centered perspective, which means she concentrates on the client’s experience and follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and acceptance while people explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach she uses - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood and to build practical coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her toolkit, concentrating on current strengths and small, achievable steps to move toward clients’ goals rather than dwelling solely on past problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Alexandra works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - increase flexibility and access to licensed professionals and therapists. These options allow clients to schedule work around daily life, connect from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for building a therapeutic relationship.
