Alexander Szendrei, BACP

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also helps those dealing with grief, addiction, low self-esteem and career concerns. Alexander lists a broad range of focuses including ADHD, trauma and abuse, body image, parenting worries and LGBT-related matters. He is a BACP member and communicates in English, Czech and Slovak.

Alexander works in a compassionate, non-judgemental way. He believes a trusting relationship is the most important part of therapy. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most and by building a shared plan for what to work on.

His approach draws on several methods so each person’s plan can be tailored. He uses a psychodynamic perspective to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. He also uses cognitive-behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thinking and everyday coping skills.

Alexander keeps explanations plain and practical. People can expect calm, focused conversations about what is happening now and where it may come from. The aim is to reduce internal conflict and help people feel more connected to themselves and others.

With four years of clinical experience recorded for this profile, he combines conversational listening with structured tools when they are useful. If someone wants to begin, they can use the site Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

Approaches that guide online work

Alexander often draws on client-centred work, Attachment-Based Therapy and cognitive-behavioural ideas. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows your lead, listens closely and helps you make sense of what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feeling and connection, which can help with intimacy and trust issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and then shape the work together. This means methods can change over time to fit what a person needs and wants.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so it is important to confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also make certain exercises or homework easier to share and review between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and help find a way of working that fits everyday life.
