Background and approach

The room is a place to talk without judgement and to work out practical next steps. Her work draws on client-centred ways of listening that place the person’s experience at the centre. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking and try small tests to change it.

Mindfulness techniques are offered for grounding and managing worrying thoughts. People often come with a mixture of concerns, such as relationship strain alongside anxiety or body image worries tied to eating. Alexandra describes the first sessions as a time to get clear on priorities and to agree simple goals.

Progress is revisited regularly so the plan stays useful and realistic. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Alexandra combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage worry and low mood. Client-centred work means the conversation centres on the person’s experience and priorities, helping them feel heard and seen. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in everyday life to reduce distress.

She also brings mindfulness practices into online sessions to help with overwhelming thoughts and to build simple self-calming routines. Mindfulness here involves short exercises and attention-training that can be practised between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss options with you and together you will choose methods that match your needs, goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative planning helps keep therapy relevant and realistic.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep progress moving even when schedules change.
