About Alex

Alex Storey works from a Client-Centred approach, placing the person in front of her at the centre of each session. She offers a warm, genuine presence and aims to create space for people to talk through difficult feelings. This straightforward style helps people who are anxious, grieving, facing relationship strain, or coping with life changes.

With four years of experience, Alex has supported people facing depression, anxiety and addictions. She has also worked with concerns such as bullying, isolation and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Her practice includes helping those dealing with chronic health challenges, parenting stress and complex family patterns including adoption and blended family questions.

Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Alex listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. She encourages practical steps that fit a person’s daily life, not complicated programmes that feel overwhelming.

Alex describes herself as approachable and down to earth. Her own life experiences influenced her decision to train as a counsellor and shape how she relates to others in sessions. She supports people at whatever pace feels right for them.

People who want to start are invited to make the first contact and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they can arrange sessions according to the therapist’s scheduling and subscription process.

Client‑Centred therapy and remote working

Client‑Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and supports people to make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, grief, relationship worries and self‑esteem by giving space to explore what matters to the individual.

That person-led way of working means the therapist and client decide together which methods suit best. Alex will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and will adapt the way she works to fit those needs. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The practical advantages of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel and making shorter check-ins easier to manage. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to make access easier while keeping the work focused on the client’s needs and goals.
