About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating-related difficulties, low self-esteem, and depression. Alexandra writes that she supports clients who want more motivation and confidence in day-to-day life.
She draws on approaches like client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to keep sessions practical and focused. Sessions often include talking through unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioural steps between meetings. Alexandra also uses mindfulness exercises to help people notice and settle their minds, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current feelings.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to build openness so clients can speak about difficult feelings without judgement. Conversations are paced to each person, with practical suggestions when they are wanted and space to reflect when that feels better.
Alexandra has worked across a range of concerns linked to relationships, attachment and life transitions. Examples she lists include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She also notes work with body image, chronic illness and disability, and communication or control problems.
Sessions are delivered in English. Alexandra asks people to use the online matching and booking route to arrange an initial meeting and to choose the session plan that suits their situation.
How Alexandra’s approaches work in online sessions
Alexandra uses client-centred methods that prioritise listening and helping people talk things through at their own pace. Client-centred work focuses on understanding a person’s experience and responding without judgement, which helps when social situations or speaking up feel difficult.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural steps between meetings to test new ways of coping with anxiety and phobic reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Alexandra will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as people try things and give feedback.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help some people keep momentum between sessions and apply new strategies to real-life situations.
