About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Alexandra focuses on helping people who feel stuck or lack motivation to make changes in their life.
She uses an open, non-judgemental approach so clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions are devoted to what matters to the client, with practical conversation aimed at clearer day-to-day choices. Alexandra listens and reflects back what she hears to help people notice patterns and options.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practice. She often helps people try small changes between sessions and then reviews how those steps worked. This can be useful for tackling anxiety, low mood and problems with confidence.
Alexandra also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships or early experiences affect current behaviour and feelings. That can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment or family of origin issues. She aims to help clients link past patterns to present choices so they can make different decisions.
People who come to her include those facing life transitions such as moving out, starting new jobs or struggling after relationship changes. She works in English and sees adults in the UK. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. Online sessions use this approach to let people talk through stresses, relationship problems and self-esteem concerns while the counsellor follows their lead.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In an online setting Alexandra might use CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can be explained and practised during a session and then used in daily life to manage worry or urges around eating.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Alexandra will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and how to measure progress over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts and travel. It also allows short check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult, helping therapy fit into a busy early adult life.
