Alex Storey, BACP

Alex Storey is a Client-Centered Therapist who places each person at the centre of her practice, offering a warm and genuine presence to guide people through difficult moments. She brings four years of clinical experience helping clients navigate bereavement and loss, anxiety and depression, bullying and isolation, relationship difficulties, and a range of other life challenges. Her approach is grounded in listening with empathy, respecting each client’s pace, and supporting self-directed growth.

Alex’s own life experiences informed her decision to train as a counsellor and inspired a commitment to help others find resilience and clarity. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects adherence to professional standards and ongoing development in counselling practice. Alex welcomes people seeking support with grief, stress, relationship concerns, addictive behaviours, family and parenting issues, trauma, eating and body image matters, ADHD and bipolar-related challenges, and many other areas.

Recognising that starting therapy can feel daunting, Alex aims to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings and chart a practical path forward. When clients are ready, she offers steady support to help them move toward the personal growth they seek.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Alex Storey bases her work on Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused approach that emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and respect for each client’s autonomy. This approach helps people explore difficult emotions, process grief, and work through relationship or identity concerns by creating a supportive space where the client’s own goals direct the work.

In practice Alex combines gentle, non-directive listening with practical collaboration - helping clients identify what changes they want to make and supporting small, achievable steps toward those goals. This way of working is suited to clients facing stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and other emotional challenges where being heard and understood is a key part of healing.

Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process. Alex works collaboratively with each person to determine which elements of client-centered work will be most helpful, and she adjusts the pace and focus based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, plus options for live chat and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access help from home. Registered professionals like Alex aim to make therapy accessible and practical while maintaining a compassionate therapeutic relationship.
