Alexandra Thomas, BACP, NCPS

Alexandra Thomas trained first as a nurse and later moved into counselling. Her background includes hospital nursing and work in nursing homes, which shaped a holistic outlook on care. She uses that perspective in sessions to help people link practical life needs with emotional concerns. Alexandra holds a Level 4 counselling qualification and lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials. Alexandra works mainly from a person-centred viewpoint, where the client leads the pace and topics. She also draws on other approaches when they help a particular issue. Sessions are described as collaborative and warm, aimed at helping people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and changes in life circumstances. Her counselling experience spans work with adults, students, young people and women, and she notes around nine hundred hours of therapy practice when including earlier work from twenty years ago. That practical experience is used to support people facing grief, trauma and caregiving strain among other concerns. Alexandra also lists focus areas such as addiction, self-esteem, eating and intimacy-related issues. She currently works in private practice and sees people in person, online and by telephone. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English. Fees vary with location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. This process matches practical scheduling with personal preference before the first session begins.

How Alexandra uses person-centred ideas online

Alexandra primarily works from a person-centred perspective. This means she focuses on listening closely, following the client’s concerns, and helping people find their own solutions. It suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief and stress where a non-directive, listening approach can help someone feel heard. She also draws on other helpful techniques when they fit a person’s needs. These additional methods are used in a flexible way to address specific problems such as anxiety, addiction-related struggles or changes linked to caregiving. Deciding which mix to use happens together with the client during the first sessions and is adjusted over time. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting counselling into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule around work or caring duties, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific online formats, confirm the available session types and arrangements before booking. Alexandra will help assess what approach and setup best match a person’s goals and everyday routine.
