About Alexandra
Alexandra Grimes offers approachable, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She explains things in plain language and focuses on what matters to each person. Alexandra aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can start to make small, manageable changes.
With five years of professional experience, Alexandra uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions. She is non-directive and lets clients lead the conversation while providing gentle guidance when helpful. She recommends video calls to help build a strong therapeutic connection, though phone or message options are also possible if preferred.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy and sexual issues, parenting stresses, and codependency. Alexandra also supports people with chronic illness, caregiver strain, body-image worries and career-related stress. She adapts the session focus to each person’s immediate needs.
Alexandra blends client-centred listening with elements from cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. That mix helps people understand patterns, try new ways of coping, and set clear short-term goals. Sessions focus on real-life steps rather than jargon.
Clients can expect a warm, empathetic presence and a commitment to work at a pace that suits them. Alexandra asks people to choose the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Alexandra uses client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques in her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and placing the client's experience at the centre of sessions; it helps people feel heard and understood as they sort through difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers concrete steps to try different ways of responding to everyday problems. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra works collaboratively to discover which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try things out, and adjust the way of working as progress unfolds. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments, cutting travel time, and allowing a steady rhythm of contact even when life is busy. The profile recommends video calls to help build rapport, while noting phone or message sessions are alternatives; confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent and manageable alongside daily life.Areas of expertise
