About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, coping with life changes, addiction, ADHD and LGBT matters. He also supports people facing career pressures, low self-esteem and anger. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak.
Alexander uses several therapeutic perspectives rather than a single method. He often looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. That helps people understand repeated reactions and where they come from. He also draws on client-centred ideas to listen to what matters most to each person.
In practical terms, Alexander talks through what causes distress and helps people consider alternative ways of thinking and behaving. He uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to test unhelpful thoughts and narrative approaches to help clients reframe difficult stories about themselves. He is comfortable addressing attachment themes and how they affect intimacy and trust.
Sessions tend to focus on improving day-to-day coping, repairing or clarifying relationships, and managing symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Alexander also offers support for more complex situations like trauma, bereavement, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. He approaches these topics in a direct, conversational way.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Alexander often combines attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques when helping people online. Attachment-based work looks at how early and close relationships influence current trust and intimacy. It can help with relationship worries and feeling disconnected from others. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on practical steps to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing daily stress.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or travel and to have shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to meet with a registered professional who speaks English, Czech or Slovak without travelling to a clinic.
