About Alexandra

Alexandra Squires is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, eating and food-related issues, low self-esteem, motivation and depression. Alexandra aims to make the first step of seeking help feel manageable and supported.

Her approach centres on a client-centred style that encourages open, non-judgemental conversation. Clients are invited to talk about their thoughts and feelings in a calm space where the counsellor listens and reflects back what matters most to them. Alexandra uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people manage strong emotions and build steadier responses to stress. Psychodynamic ideas are woven in when helpful to understand repeated patterns and the roots of difficult feelings. Sessions tend to focus on what the person wants to change now, and how past experiences shape current choices.

Alexandra works at a measured pace, matching the conversation to each person's needs and goals. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, improved self-confidence, or a different relationship with food and body image. If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps them set a simple first step.

Sessions are conducted in English and offered from the United Kingdom. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details with the service provider.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alexandra combines client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps people feel heard and begin to make changes. CBT involves looking at thoughts and behaviours, trying small experiments and building new habits to reduce anxiety or change eating-related patterns. Mindfulness practice teaches gentle attention to present-moment experience, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and daily life, and together they decide which methods to try. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and manageable.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, study or family routines and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and to maintain continuity when schedules change. The original biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options with the service before booking to see what works best for you.
