About Alexander
Counsellor Alexander Szendrei is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns and coping with life changes, among other issues. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak in the United Kingdom.
Alexander takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. He uses client-centred work to listen and reflect what is happening now. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking and practical ways to respond differently. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current patterns of relating.
In sessions he will look at both current problems and patterns that repeat over time. That can include how past losses, attachment wounds or identity issues shape mood, ability to trust others, and responses to stress. He also addresses concerns such as addiction, eating issues, anger and low self-esteem in clear, practical ways.
Alexander describes himself as an integrative practitioner who combines several therapies to suit each person. He uses psychodynamic thinking to consider underlying feelings and narratives alongside more direct strategies from CBT. Work with him often involves talking through recent events, noticing repeated patterns, and trying out small changes between sessions.
People who want to start are asked to follow the site booking steps and complete a short questionnaire. That helps match needs and plan a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions run through a cancellable subscription model.
Approaches used in online counselling
Alexander commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling close to others. This approach can help with intimacy issues, trust and repeated relationship patterns.He also uses client-centred methods that prioritise listening and reflecting what is happening in the here and now. That helps people clarify their concerns and decide what they want to focus on. Cognitive behavioural work is used alongside these to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes to mood and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexander will work with the client to agree which ideas and methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals provide remote counselling in various formats, and Alexander will discuss which option best fits practical needs during the initial planning.
