About Alexandra
Alexandra Thomas trained first as a nurse and carried out clinical work in hospitals and nursing homes before moving into counselling. She uses that background to notice how life events affect both body and mind. Alexandra works in a person-centred way and keeps things straightforward and gentle in sessions.
She qualified with a Level 4 counselling award in April and completed three placements during her training. Alexandra has around three years of recent experience and roughly nine hundred hours of therapy practice when counting earlier work from two decades ago.
Background and approach
Her qualifications include membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and registration with NCPS. Alexandra helps people talk through stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship strains, anger, low self-esteem, grief, addiction concerns and trauma.
Additional focus areas include body image, eating-related issues, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her style is warm, non-judgemental and collaborative. Sessions centre on the client’s experience and pace, with Alexandra listening closely and reflecting what she hears.
She sometimes brings in ideas from other approaches when useful, while keeping the person’s priorities at the centre. Alexandra offers sessions in person, online and by phone. She works with adults, students, young people and women, helping them manage life changes, career pressures, intimacy worries and feelings of emptiness.
Practical coping strategies are offered alongside emotional support.

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
Her nursing background informs a holistic view of problems, so she may also draw on practical strategies alongside person-centred work. The aim is to match approaches to what the client wants to achieve, and this is decided together in session rather than imposed in advance.
Online therapy with Alexandra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy schedules or allow ongoing written reflection. These options give flexibility for different routines and practical needs while keeping the focus on the goals set by the client and the therapist.
