About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, addiction, codependency and related issues. He talks plainly about what is causing strain and helps people identify practical ways to cope.
He uses a psychodynamic lens to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. This helps when patterns from childhood repeat in adult relationships. He also draws on client-centred ideas to listen closely and make the room feel straightforward and respectful.
Alexander also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of acting. Narrative and existential ideas are used when people want to explore meaning, values and the stories they tell about themselves. He blends these approaches rather than relying on just one method.
Sessions focus on simple, concrete steps alongside deeper reflection. Conversations often include noticing patterns, practising boundary skills, and trying out new responses between meetings. He aims to make work in therapy something that fits into everyday life, not a list of abstract tasks.
Alexander works in English, Czech and Slovak. He asks new clients to use a short questionnaire and an initial booking step to set up the first session. Costs vary by location and are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches work for online sessions
Alexander commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. This approach helps when someone keeps losing themselves in relationships or struggles with closeness and trust.He also draws on client-centred practice, which focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. That method can help people clarify their feelings and decide on immediate next steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety or improve boundaries.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adapt over time based on what helps most for the client’s problems and preferences.
The practical advantages of working online should be confirmed with him before booking, as the profile does not list specific session formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so a session can occur between commitments. Check the therapist’s session options to see which format suits your schedule and needs.
