More about Alexandra
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- NCPS
I am licensed in the UK with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I offer a confidential, non-judgmental space where we can explore what has been going on for you, help you to understand and process your difficulties and support you. I am a warm and empathic therapist. I work safely from my own home online, where there will be no distractions and you as the client, are able to share your problems safely and confidentiality.
I work in a Person-Centred way, which means I put you and your experiences at the core of our work together.
I am non-directive, which means that you decide what you want to bring to your therapy, but I can promise you that we will go wherever it leads together.
I aim to offer a calm and accepting place for you to explore your life, come to terms with an issue, or confront something troubling you. I really recommend video call for counselling, it will allow us to build a good, healthy relationship and you will be able to see who you are talking to. However, this is your choice and if you choose to schedule a phone call, or message we are still able to work together.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
