Alexander Szendrei, BACP

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also helps with grief, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, addictions and compassion fatigue. Alexander works with issues around self-esteem, parenting, career, anger and ADHD, and he offers support for a wide range of additional concerns such as chronic illness, body image and attachment problems.

Alexander uses a person-focused approach that centres on a steady, non-judgemental relationship. He holds a BACP accreditation, and brings four years of clinical experience to his practice. He aims to create a calm space where people can say what matters to them and begin to make sense of difficulties.

In sessions he combines ideas from attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. This means he pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, listens closely to each person's experience, and suggests practical ways to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

He often looks at how past events link with present feelings and behaviours, and helps people spot repeated patterns that undermine relationships or wellbeing. Alexander works collaboratively to set goals that match what each person wants to achieve, whether that is coping with chronic illness, managing anxiety or improving intimacy.

Sessions are conducted in English and Alexander can also communicate in Czech and Slovak. He uses a short matching questionnaire to begin the process, and sessions run under a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present connections and feelings. It can help people who struggle with closeness, abandonment worries or repeating relationship patterns to understand where those responses come from and try new ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy focuses on careful, attentive listening and meeting each person without judgement. This approach helps people feel heard and gain clarity about what matters to them before making changes.

Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical exercises. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexander will discuss aims and preferences and together you will decide which ideas to use. The process is collaborative and tailored to the issues and goals you bring to sessions.

Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to attend when juggling work, caregiving or health appointments, while the therapist will help adapt exercises to suit each person's routine.
