About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires is a counsellor with 11 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence to people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating concerns and relationship difficulties.

She has worked across a range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and caregiver stress. Alexandra has experience with chronic pain, body image and commitment or control issues too, and supports people dealing with separation and divorce.

How these approaches work for online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and rhythm. The therapist listens, reflects and follows what matters most so people can make changes at their own pace. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple experiments and practical tasks to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through short exercises and breathing practices. It can help reduce stress and improve focus when day-to-day worries feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you decide whether to emphasise person-centred listening, CBT tasks, mindfulness practice or a blend of methods.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, reducing travel time and keeping therapy consistent when life is busy.
