About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of practice. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. Alexandra describes helping people to talk through difficult feelings and to find clearer ways of managing everyday pressure.
She focuses on straightforward, conversational work rather than jargon. Sessions involve talking about what is happening now and trying out practical steps that change how people cope. Alexandra uses listening and reflective feedback to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck, including people-pleasing and codependency dynamics.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working together and on cognitive behavioural techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also brings in mindfulness skills to help with stress and grounding, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships influence current behaviour. These methods are mixed to match what someone wants to work on.
People come to Alexandra to sort out relationship problems, to stop putting others first at their own expense, or to manage anxiety and low mood. She also supports those dealing with body image and eating concerns, caregiving strain, chronic illness, attachment and abandonment worries, and relationship endings.
If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Alexandra’s approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what someone says, asks clarifying questions, and helps a person find their own solutions. It is useful when someone wants a conversational space to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. The counsellor and client test small changes and practical experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and repetitive patterns like people-pleasing.
Alexandra sees choosing an approach as something to work out together. She will talk about what seems most helpful, try methods in session and review what is working. That collaborative testing helps to shape goals and next steps based on the person's needs and preferences.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a lunch break, avoiding travel, or using a shorter phone check-in when time or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt talking therapy methods to remote formats so the work can fit around everyday life.
