About Alexander

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and issues with intimacy. He also supports people dealing with addiction, eating concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career stress and symptoms of depression. Codependency and attachment-related worries are also listed among his focus areas. He works from a compassionate, non-judgemental stance and aims to build a trusting relationship with each person.

He describes his work as integrative, drawing on different psychological approaches to match each person’s needs. Alexander uses a psychodynamic lens to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviours. He also draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise listening and understanding.

In practice Alexander helps people spot repeated patterns that cause distress. He talks through how early relationships may influence current reactions. Sessions are intended to help people make sense of painful feelings and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Alexander has four years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He trained through personal and professional routes and says his own therapy influenced his decision to become a counsellor.

People can expect a calm, reflective style that aims to reduce internal conflict and build clearer self-awareness. He pays attention to how attachment and connection affect intimacy and day-to-day relationships.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape adult relationships and emotional responses. It can help people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or repeated relationship patterns to notice and change those responses. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and acceptance, giving space for people to talk through painful feelings and arrive at their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on needs, goals and personal preference. That may mean using reflective listening at times, and more exploratory work about past relationships at others.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to schedule evening or daytime slots around work or family commitments, and it can allow for different ways of checking in that suit a person’s routine. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are supported.
