About Alexander

Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and money and financial issues. He also supports individuals dealing with addiction, trauma, eating concerns, parenting strains, ADHD, and low self-esteem. Alexander works in English, Czech and Slovak and brings four years of professional experience to his practice. He holds BACP registration, which is listed among his credentials.

Alexander aims to build a trusting relationship first. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful or confusing life moments. He draws on several therapeutic approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

In sessions he pays attention to how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviour. That often means looking at early attachments and recurring patterns that shape relationships today. He uses client-centred listening alongside psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their choices and reactions.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are included when helpful to address anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful thinking. Narrative and existential ideas can assist when people want to make meaning after loss or during big life changes. The aim is to reduce internal conflict and restore a sense of connection with self and others.

People are invited to explain their current struggles and practical goals. Alexander then tailors the mix of approaches to suit those aims, working at a steady, practical pace so clients can notice change over time.

How these approaches shape online counselling

A client-centred approach focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and start to find their own solutions for issues like anxiety, low mood or life changes.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current emotions and patterns. This can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and understanding repeated responses to stress or loss.

Cognitive behavioural work addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical steps. It often helps with anxiety, depressive symptoms and managing everyday worries about work, money and routine challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs together and then choose which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people value online counselling because it can fit around busy days, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments during work breaks. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when bandwidth or background noise is an issue, while others like video work for face-to-face conversation. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so sessions can be arranged to suit your routine and goals.
