Alexandra Squires

Alexandra Squires is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people who report stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Alexandra describes helping clients who feel stuck or uncertain about motivation and confidence. In sessions she aims to create a frank, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She uses conversational listening alongside structured techniques when they help. That means clients can bring immediate worries and also work on patterns that keep problems recurring. Her approach draws on client-centred methods that focus on the person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices are offered to aid staying present and managing overwhelming feelings. Alexandra also employs psychodynamic ideas to help people understand long-standing themes, such as attachment or abandonment concerns. These approaches are used to address related issues including body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication difficulties. Sessions are presented as collaborative: the person and Alexandra agree practical steps and reflect on what helps between meetings. The booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People are advised to use the platform’s matching tool and schedule an initial appointment to begin.

How Alexandra’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening to the person’s viewpoint and following what matters most to them. This helps when someone feels unsure about next steps or wants a steady space to sort out priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems and motivation when someone wants clear tasks and feedback.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Alexandra will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That means sessions can shift over time from conversation to practical skill-building or to reflecting on deeper patterns.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and remove travel time. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements suit everyday life.
