She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and coping with life changes. Alex also works with people facing addictions, anger and low self-esteem. She supports those with eating concerns, bipolar or ADHD and people managing career stress.

There is experience addressing family-related strains, parenting pressures and communication problems. Her additional focus covers more specific areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image worries. She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, and with those navigating abandonment or commitment concerns.

Client-centred counselling online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of every session. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what is shared, helping people understand their feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, relationship issues and grief because it helps people find their own solutions.

Working in a client-centred way often means sessions feel collaborative. The counsellor and client decide together what to focus on and how to try new ways of coping. If other approaches might help, the therapist will discuss options and tailor the work to the person’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. Together these options offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and needs.
