Alexander Szendrei works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He helps with addictions, coping with life changes, self-esteem, anger and career concerns. He also supports people with ADHD, compassion fatigue and eating difficulties.
Alexander uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people make sense of what they are experiencing. Alexander brings four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
He offers a calm, non-judgemental manner and aims to build a trusting relationship as the basis for change. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and move at a pace that feels manageable. His approach blends several therapeutic styles so work is tailored to individual needs.
He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioural tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and narrative techniques to help people reframe their life stories. In practical terms Alexander will help you identify patterns that cause distress and try different ways of responding.
He pays attention to emotions, relationships and the stories people tell about themselves. This gives concrete options for change rather than abstract theory. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People start by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and feeling. Online sessions can help people notice how they expect to be treated and try new ways of being with others, which can ease relationship and intimacy issues.Client-centred practice focuses on the person's own goals and pace. The counsellor listens without judgment and follows what matters most to the client, which can be especially useful for building trust in remote sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Alexander will discuss different methods and work with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflection and flexible timing for people with busy schedules. Together these options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
