About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires offers a warm, client-focused way of working that helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with eating or self-esteem. She draws on 11 years of experience and uses everyday language to make sessions straightforward and practical. Alexandra aims to build a calm space where people can speak openly without feeling judged.
She introduces simple tools and ways of thinking so clients can try things between sessions.
Background and approach
Background and approach Alexandra uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She often starts with client-centred work to understand a person’s experience and what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to test new behaviours.
Mindfulness practices help people notice feelings and reduce reactivity, while psychodynamic ideas are used where past experiences affect present choices. Her experience includes helping people with relationship worries, abandonment and attachment concerns, and challenges linked to adoption or foster care. She also supports those dealing with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, and separation or divorce.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online in several formats. Alexandra explains each step and works with people to set clear, realistic goals. She encourages practical changes alongside gentle reflection so progress feels manageable.
People who choose Alexandra can expect a steady, non-judgemental counsellor who prefers clear conversation, small experiments, and ongoing review of what is or isn’t working.

Approaches Alexandra lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. This approach offers clear exercises to test new ways of thinking and to build practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss options and decide together with each person which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a busy day, and live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, care duties and other commitments.
