About Alexander

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and other life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, eating concerns, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Alexander works in English and also speaks Czech and Slovak.

He describes his starting point as compassion and a non-judgemental attitude. He sees the therapeutic relationship as the most important part of the work. Sessions focus on building trust so people can speak openly about painful experiences and current worries.

Alexander blends several approaches rather than relying on one model. He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences and early relationships shape present feelings and behaviours. He also draws on attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and narrative ideas to shape practical conversations about change.

In sessions he helps people notice repeated patterns, name difficult emotions and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. The work aims to reduce inner conflict and to restore a sense of connection and intimacy with self and others. He frames therapy as a collaborative process tailored to each person’s needs.

Alexander has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. He asks people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability when they are ready to begin.

How Alexander’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alexander draws from attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online conversations. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and aims to help people feel more connected and secure in how they relate to others. Client-centred practice focuses on listening, accepting and reflecting so people can find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive behavioural ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions together. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering a quieter setting without needing to leave home. It also supports continuity when life circumstances make face-to-face meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep momentum between meetings and to work through practical day-to-day challenges.
