About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Curran has spent 16 years working in counselling and coaching. He supports people who are feeling anxious, down, overwhelmed or facing relationship and family strain. Alex works in plain language and encourages the first step of reaching out as a positive move toward change.
Alex focuses on practical, person-centred conversations. Sessions are paced to suit each person and avoid clinical jargon that can get in the way. He combines talking therapy with practical tools so people can manage stress, mood and difficult life changes.
His background includes work with addiction, trauma and depression, and supporting people through high-pressure situations and rehabilitation after injury or illness. He also helps with parenting and fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, and challenges such as eating, sleeping and anger difficulties.
Alex draws on approaches including Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused work, plus trauma-focused methods when needed. That mix lets him adapt to practical goals and emotional exploration depending on what someone wants to focus on.
He offers straightforward, down-to-earth support aimed at helping people cope, make clearer decisions and feel more in control day to day. Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom, with a style suited to people wanting calm, practical guidance rather than complex technical language.
How Alex uses therapy approaches online
Alex commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person, helping them find their own answers. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful habits.He also draws on Mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away, which can support stress, sleep and emotion regulation. These approaches suit people who want both emotional support and concrete steps to cope with day-to-day challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then try methods that fit each person's needs. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and goals.
