Alexander Szendrei, BACP

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, intimacy-related difficulties and other life challenges. He works with individuals dealing with addiction, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career pressures, depression and ADHD. Alexander also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress.

He describes his work as grounded in a compassionate, non-judgemental relationship. Alexander uses an integrative humanistic stance and aims to meet people where they are. He believes a trusting relationship is the starting point for meaningful change.

In sessions he draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. He also uses practical methods from cognitive behavioural approaches to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out new ways of responding. Narrative and existential ideas inform conversations about identity, meaning and life choices.

Alexander holds BACP registration, which is noted here as BACP. He has four years of experience working in therapeutic roles. He is able to offer sessions in English, Czech and Slovak. International clients are not currently accepted.

To start, the site process asks people to use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches shape online work

Alexander commonly draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present-day connections and feelings, which can help when intimacy or trust are difficult. He also uses Client-Centred approaches that focus on listening, empathy and meeting each person where they are to build a safe working relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) features in his work to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose what feels most useful based on goals, needs and preferences. This means methods can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or let someone choose quieter surroundings and fewer travel disruptions. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent while they try different approaches.
