About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Curran has worked in counselling for 16 years. He uses that experience to help people who feel anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck in difficult life moments. Alex is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which he uses as part of his professional background.
Alex keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He avoids jargon and lets each person set the pace. He aims to make talking about painful or confusing things easier by creating a calm, steady space for those conversations.
In practice Alex draws on client-centred work. He helps people explore what matters to them and find their own way forward. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and Mindfulness strategies to help with stress and emotional regulation.
People bring a wide range of concerns to him, including relationship and family difficulties, parenting and fatherhood issues, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar and depression, eating and sleeping struggles, and workplace or career stress. He also supports people working through ADHD, self-esteem issues, body image, and compassion fatigue.
His style is warm and practical. Sessions often involve talking things through, trying out new ways of responding, and setting small steps between meetings. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a time according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Alex commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions by following their lead. This approach is useful for building trust and working through personal or relationship challenges.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and tests small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help manage stress and improve attention to present-moment experience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alex will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working. Decisions about which methods to try are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people attend without needing to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often adapt the same therapeutic approaches for remote work while keeping the focus on practical goals and steady progress.
