About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He offers a calm, non-judgemental approach for those facing relationship problems, grief, addiction or major life changes. Alexander speaks English, Czech and Slovak and works with adults in the United Kingdom.
He draws on four years of professional practice and uses ideas from attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. Sessions begin by understanding what matters most to the person and by building a trusting relationship.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on current difficulties and how past experiences might shape present feelings and behaviours. Alexander uses short, practical steps alongside deeper reflection. He helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding.
For relationship and intimacy-related concerns he looks at patterns of connection and distance to support clearer communication and greater safety in relationships. For issues such as grief, depression, ADHD or career stress he combines listening with structured tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. He also supports people dealing with body image, parenting strain, caregiver stress and chronic illness challenges.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different needs. Work starts by agreeing goals and deciding which methods to use together. Alexander aims to make therapy straightforward and practical while keeping attention on personal meaning and growth.
Approaches online that focus on connection and change
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps with anxiety about closeness, trust and recurring relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and accepted; the counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alexander will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. He often combines listening and reflection with practical steps, so the plan evolves from session to session.
Online formats make arranging therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use verbal and visual cues to build the relationship. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, notes between sessions or when writing helps someone express themselves. These options help people access consistent support around work, family and daily life.
