About Alex

Alex Storey is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Her practice also notes concerns such as addiction, codependency, parenting pressures and coping with major life changes.

Alex uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. In sessions she listens without directing, helping people name what matters to them. That quiet focus is useful for worries about self-esteem, intimacy, communication and for processing loss.

Her background includes supporting people through bereavement and anxiety, and helping those who feel isolated after bullying or life transitions. She aims to make the practical parts of therapy clear, such as exploring patterns in relationships and testing small changes between sessions.

Sessions tend to focus on what a person wants to work on now, whether that is anger, career questions, or deeper trauma and abuse. Alex pays attention to how attachments and past experiences shape current choices. This can help when someone struggles with codependent behaviour or trouble saying no.

She works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. Information about how sessions are arranged and costs is provided through the service subscription model, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How sessions work

Client-Centred practice and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears, helping clients clarify their feelings and priorities. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship patterns and grief.

That same client-centred stance guides how she approaches online work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide how sessions should run and what to focus on. Together they look at goals, try different ways of talking about issues, and adjust the approach as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and keeping contact consistent when life is busy. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain momentum between in-person meetings or to offer a shorter check-in when needed.
