Alexandra Stochin offers an integrative approach to counselling that adapts to each person's needs. She aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and work-related strain. Alexandra is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works collaboratively, moving at a pace that feels right for the person in the room.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, noticing patterns, and trying practical ways to cope with difficult feelings. Conversations are straightforward and relational rather than full of jargon. With three years of experience, Alexandra supports people through big life changes and ongoing difficulties.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to each concern. This can mean looking at how thoughts and behaviours interact, or using reflective listening to make sense of painful memories. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere where exploration and practical steps sit together.

Alexandra helps clients identify small, achievable changes that make day-to-day life easier. She also considers career stresses and compassion fatigue as part of the bigger picture. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged to suit each person’s circumstances.

Alexandra will explain how therapy might help and answer questions so people can decide if this way of working feels right for them.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them for online work. One common approach looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact to reduce anxiety and depression by teaching new ways to respond to upsetting thoughts. Another approach focuses on processing difficult or painful experiences through careful, paced discussion to reduce their daily impact and support healthier coping.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Alexandra will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which techniques suit their goals, pace and preferences. The therapist frames this as a collaborative exploration rather than a fixed plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility for many people. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
