Alexandra Stochin , BACP

Alexandra Stochin is an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor who offers a warm, supportive space for people to explore thoughts, feelings, and difficult life experiences. She creates an environment where clients can safely attend to whatever feels challenging, with thoughtful guidance and understanding tailored to each person's pace and perspective.

Recognising the anxiety that can accompany the decision to begin therapy, she invites questions and aims to make the process as comfortable and clear as possible. Her style is collaborative and empathic, focused on listening and responding to the unique needs of each individual without judgment. As an integrative practitioner she draws on different therapeutic modalities and adapts them to suit the concerns presented in sessions.

Alexandra is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and adheres to its ethical guidelines. Her goal is to provide a reflective space where clients can explore challenges and develop practical tools to manage them, with the belief that everyone has potential for greater well-being and fulfilment.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Alexandra works from an integrative perspective, blending different therapeutic methods to suit each person's needs. This approach means she can combine talking, reflective exploration, and practical techniques so that the work targets what is most helpful for the client at that time, whether the focus is on emotions, relationships, or daily coping.

Alongside integration, she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to provide concrete skills and strategies. These techniques typically focus on developing coping tools, improving emotional regulation, and supporting clearer thinking about relationships and life changes, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and other concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. Alexandra works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, and adjusts the plan over time to match what is most effective and comfortable.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow ongoing access to support from licensed professionals and therapists from a range of locations, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
