About Alex
Counsellor Alex Storey is a BACP member with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She practices Client-Centred Therapy and supports people with issues such as bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and other everyday struggles. Sessions focus on listening and understanding the person in front of her rather than giving instructions.
Alex aims to make sessions straightforward. She works with people facing grief and loss, bullying and isolation, and the stress that comes from life changes. She also supports clients with concerns about addiction, intimacy, eating, parenting, anger, self-esteem and career pressures.
Her Client-Centred approach means the client sets the pace. The counsellor reflects what is said, asks questions to clarify, and helps people find their own answers. This way of working suits those who prefer a conversational style rather than a directive one.
Alex brings four years of practical experience to sessions. That includes helping people with trauma and abuse, attachment and relationship struggles, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. She also lists additional focus areas including abandonment, adoption and foster care, and chronic illness and caregiving stress.
People who choose to work with Alex will generally find a calm, person-focused process that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about. To start, clients follow the service's matching process and book an initial session through the counselling options button.
Client-Centred approach and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on techniques. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what she hears and encourages the client to find their own understanding. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties where people need space to talk things through. The emphasis is on a collaborative process. The counsellor and client work together to decide what matters and how to proceed. If different ways of working are helpful, they will be discussed and chosen jointly to fit the client's goals and preferences. Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life and saving travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to attend when getting to appointments is difficult. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats, and the counsellor will explain the options when you complete the matching and scheduling steps.Areas of expertise
