Alexandra Squires
Person-centred support for anxiety and mood
About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-focused style to help people tackle worry and low mood. She brings 11 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Alexandra aims to make first contact feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is nervous about reaching out.
Her work puts the client's perspective at the centre. Sessions are a place to talk through difficult feelings and patterns without judgement.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred methods to build trust, and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people manage intense emotions and to build calmer, more stable day-to-day routines. Psychodynamic ideas are also used to look at how past relationships and attachment can shape present struggles.
Alexandra adapts what she uses to match what each person needs in the moment. She has supported people facing issues such as abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care history, attachment differences, body image and caring responsibilities. She also works with complex health-related difficulties such as chronic pain, illness or disability and the emotional strain these can cause.
Sessions are available across multiple formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Alexandra practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online support
Alexandra commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and helping people feel heard; it is useful for building trust and exploring feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as sessions progress to better match what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving a range of ways to connect. Video allows for face-to-face conversation, phone can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical, outcome-oriented work.
