Alexandra Thomas trained in nursing and spent years working in hospitals and nursing homes before moving into counselling. She brings hands-on health care experience into the therapy room and uses that background to understand practical life stresses. Alexandra holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of recent counselling placements behind her.

Her sessions follow a person-centred approach, which means she focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience.

Background and approach

She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship worries. She also helps with anger, self-esteem, addiction-related concerns, and coping with life changes. Alexandra’s work draws on a holistic nursing background, so she pays attention to physical and emotional needs together.

She sometimes brings in ideas from other approaches when it helps a person make progress. Typical concerns she supports include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, eating and body-image issues, and ADHD-related challenges. She has practised in one-to-one settings with adults, students, young people, and women, and she has around nine hundred practice hours counted across earlier and recent work.

Sessions are offered in person, online, and by phone. Sessions may be arranged as live video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Alexandra works with people who want a warm, listening-based style rather than a directive therapist.

She aims to help clients find clearer thinking, better coping, and more ease in day-to-day life through steady, thoughtful conversations.

Person-centred care and online sessions

Alexandra primarily uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows each person’s pace. This style helps when coping with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem issues, and relationship worries because the focus is on being heard and understood.

Her nursing background shapes a holistic way of working, paying attention to how physical health and life circumstances connect with emotional struggles. That perspective can help with long-term health concerns, chronic pain, caregiver stress, or when life changes affect wellbeing.

Finding the right way of working is a joint process. Alexandra will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest how person-centred sessions or other approaches might fit. She checks in regularly and adapts the style as therapy progresses so it stays useful and practical.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls make face-to-face conversation possible without travel, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, study, or caregiving commitments and make it easier to keep continuity of care across locations.
