Background and approach
Alexander takes a warm, person-centred approach that starts with listening. He aims to build a trusting relationship where people can speak without judgement. Sessions focus on what is happening now while also looking at patterns that might come from earlier life experiences.
He uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how close relationships shape feelings and expectations. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. Narrative and existential ideas are drawn on to help clarify values, meaning, and life choices.
Alexander keeps language plain and practical. He helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and choose actions that fit their goals. Meetings are collaborative - the person sets priorities and Alexander offers options and gentle challenges where they help.
With four years of experience, Alexander has worked with individuals on caring for others, dealing with loss, managing anger, and navigating identity and commitment questions. He adapts his approach to each person’s situation and cultural background. Sessions are offered in several online formats to suit different needs.

Sessions & fees
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
A focus on attachment-based ideas means Alexander looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. This approach helps when people struggle with intimacy, trust or repeating difficult patterns in relationships.Client-centred work keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. It involves careful listening, reflecting what is said, and helping people find their own solutions rather than imposing answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Alexander will discuss options and test what fits the person’s goals and preferences, making adjustments as the relationship develops. The process is collaborative and paced to each individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video can be useful for fuller conversations, phone calls can fit into busy days or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to work around work, family, and travel commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
