About Alexander

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor working with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing addictions, career pressures, low self-esteem and depression. Alexander lists Men’s wellbeing among his areas of focus and offers a straightforward, compassionate approach to help people find their way through difficult moments.

He brings four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which he keeps visible as part of his professional standing. Sessions aim to begin with a humane, non-judgemental conversation so people can speak honestly about what is worrying them. The initial work is about feeling heard and understood, not about quick fixes.

Alexander draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also works with cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot and change unhelpful thinking. Narrative and existential ideas are used when people want to make sense of life changes or values.

In practical terms, the therapist focuses on building a trusting working relationship. He pays attention to how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviour. Over time the aim is clearer self-understanding, fewer repeating patterns, and improved ways of coping with relationship or life challenges.

Alexander speaks English, Czech and Slovak. He practises from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions according to his availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence present relationships and emotional habits. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns by tracing how past experiences affect today's feelings and reactions.

Client-centred practice keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist offers attentive listening and reflection so people can make sense of their own feelings and decide what changes to try.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist listens to your concerns, discusses options and adapts methods based on your goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility around when you meet and can help maintain continuity during life changes. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use different approaches online, and Alexander will tailor his methods to what suits you and the way you prefer to work.
