Alexandra Squires

Alexandra Squires is a counsellor who uses a caring, client-focused way of working. She has 11 years of experience in the UK and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supported.

Alexandra creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. Conversations are paced to suit the person in the room, with attention to what matters most right now. She uses practical tools alongside reflective conversation to help people notice patterns and try new steps between sessions.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods that keep the person's experience central, cognitive behavioural techniques that look at thoughts and actions, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and psychodynamic ideas that pay attention to past influences on current feelings. These methods are mixed to match each person's goals and preferences.

Over her career Alexandra has worked with a wide range of concerns related to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family issues and caregiver stress. She also helps with body image, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems.

Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, make practical changes and build more reliable ways of coping. To begin she asks people to share what they want to change, and then they agree the next steps together.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Alexandra blends approaches to meet practical needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and building a respectful working relationship so people feel heard and able to explore what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple, goal-focused exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. Alexandra works together with each person to decide which approach suits their goals and preferences, and she adapts methods as those goals change. The aim is a collaborative plan that feels realistic and clear.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into busy schedules, keeping continuity when travel would be difficult, or choosing a less time-consuming check-in when needed. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Alexandra will help tailor session length and focus so therapy can slot into everyday life while addressing stress, relationships, eating concerns and self-esteem.
