Alexandra Stochin, BACP

Alexandra Stochin is an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor who creates a warm, supportive environment for people seeking help with life's challenges. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts, emotions, and difficult experiences while receiving attentive, personalised support. Alexandra recognises how daunting it can feel to begin therapy and meets each person with patience, openness, and clear answers to any questions they may have.

Her practice is collaborative and paced to suit individual needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to respond to issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Alexandra focuses on helping people develop practical tools and insights that support personal growth and improved wellbeing.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body that sets ethical standards for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and follows those guidelines in her work to promote client welfare. Alexandra is committed to helping each person discover a path toward greater fulfilment and joy, supporting them with empathy, respect, and a clear focus on achievable goals.

Integrative approaches for online therapy

Alexandra works from an integrative framework that blends complementary, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet each person where they are. Integrative therapy brings together elements from different approaches, allowing the therapist to tailor interventions to issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, and coping with life changes by drawing on what is most helpful for the individual.

She also emphasises a collaborative, person-centred style that focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and involved in setting goals and choosing which strategies to try. In addition, Alexandra uses practical, skills-based techniques aimed at building coping tools for day-to-day challenges and emotional regulation, supporting progress between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra will work together with clients to identify which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting over time as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, increase accessibility for those who cannot travel easily, and provide flexible ways to stay connected with registered professionals and therapists when support is needed.
