Alexandra Squires, BACP

Alexandra Squires is a counsellor with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating and body image issues, low self‑esteem and depression. She aims to create a calm, non‑judgemental space where people can speak openly about what’s worrying them. Alexandra emphasises straightforward conversation and steady support to help clients take the first steps towards change.

In sessions she focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. Alexandra blends client‑centred listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat over time.

Her work often covers life changes and attachment themes such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and communication and commitment issues. Alexandra also supports people facing long‑term health concerns, chronic pain or caregiving stress, and those coping with ageing and related pressures.

Sessions address everyday problems as well as deeper emotional patterns. Alexandra helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small changes, and reflect on early relationships that shape current behaviour. The aim is clearer thinking and more workable ways of coping.

People can expect a warm, steady approach that balances listening with practical tools. Alexandra encourages clients to set goals and try steps between sessions, so progress feels tangible and relevant to daily life.

Approaches that translate to online support

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress and priorities become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler way to attend from the day‑to‑day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help therapy slot into everyday life.
