About Alexander Szendrei
Alexander Szendrei is an integrative, humanistic therapist who offers a compassionate, non-judgemental space for people navigating difficult life experiences. He draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person's needs, placing particular emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.
Alexander understands that feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected can be isolating, and he frames emotional pain as a natural response to life rather than a source of shame. His own path into therapy came through personal experience of how therapeutic work can be transformative, and that perspective informs a practice grounded in empathy and respect for each client’s story.
In sessions he combines client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods such as attachment-based and cognitive-behavioural techniques to help people explore patterns in relationships, thinking, and behaviour. He works with individuals and groups across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, trauma, and identity-related matters. He holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his standing as a recognised counselling professional in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Alexander blends several well-established methods to tailor online work to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust and can help with difficulties in intimacy, abandonment fears, and recurring relationship problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional acceptance, creating a space where people can explore their feelings and rediscover their own resources for coping with life changes and emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alexander works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best suit their goals and preferences. As a BACP-registered professional he adapts techniques over time to fit each person’s changing needs.
Online therapy with Alexander is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from home, balance therapy with work and family commitments, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
