About Alex

Alex Storey is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties, along with other concerns such as addiction and life changes.

Alex uses a client-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her and what matters most to them. Conversations aim to clarify what feels overwhelming and to find steps that feel doable in everyday life.

She has worked with people dealing with bereavement and loss, bullying and isolation, and a range of emotional struggles such as low self-esteem and anger. Alex also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and challenges around attachment and intimacy.

Sessions are conversational and led by the client’s priorities. Expect time to talk through recent events, how feelings affect daily life, and practical ways to try things differently between meetings. The emphasis is on listening, reflecting, and helping people notice what they already do that helps.

Alex’s approach is straightforward and people-focused. She encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. To begin, follow the site steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session when ready.

Client-centred approaches and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, mirrors what she hears, and helps the person find their own answers. This approach is often useful for anxiety, grief, relationship worries and low self-esteem because it focuses on what the person notices about their feelings and choices.

Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and will adapt how sessions run as understanding grows. This is a collaborative step rather than a fixed decision made at the start.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving and daily life. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that helps the person focus more on talking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help plan an approach that fits a person's schedule and practical needs.
