Alexander Szendrei, BACP

Alexander Szendrei is an integrative humanistic therapist who brings a compassionate, non-judgemental approach to people navigating difficult life moments. He draws on a range of psychological theories to tailor therapy to each person, placing particular value on a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Alexander trained and practised in ways that led him to appreciate how therapy can transform a life - his own experience of therapy inspired him to pursue this profession and informs his empathetic stance.

Working from an integrative perspective, Alexander combines humanistic values with practical tools to help clients understand patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. He often adopts a psychodynamic lens to explore how past experiences and early relationships continue to shape current difficulties, while remaining focused on helping clients build clearer self-understanding and healthier connections with others. His aim is to reduce internal conflict and restore a sense of intimacy and belonging where these have been lost.

Alexander holds the BACP credential - a membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has four years of professional experience. He offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting and self-esteem, among others. He works collaboratively with clients to create a tailored plan that reflects their needs, goals and life circumstances.

Attachment-informed and client-centered online support

Alexander often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape expectations and responses in adult relationships - this approach helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship patterns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on offering empathetic, non-judgemental listening so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions; this way of working is helpful for people seeking validation and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another option he draws on when practical strategies to manage anxiety, unhelpful thoughts or behavioural patterns are needed, offering structured tools to make measurable changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alexander works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive as progress unfolds.

Online therapy in his practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to access consistent support around work, family life or mobility constraints. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to continue therapeutic work without needing to travel, while maintaining a therapeutic focus and continuity of care with registered professionals.
