About Alexandra Thomas

Alexandra Thomas combines a nursing background with focused counselling practice to support people through a broad range of life challenges. Having worked in both hospitals and nursing homes, she brings a holistic perspective from her clinical nursing experience into the therapy room, using that foundation to inform compassionate and practical support.

She works in an integrative way while primarily following a client-centered approach - responding to each person’s needs and drawing on other therapeutic ideas when appropriate. Alexandra completed a Level 4 qualification last April after three clinical placements over the preceding three years. She has provided counselling to adults, students, young people, and women, and counts around 900 hours of therapy practice when earlier work from twenty years ago is included.

Alexandra holds professional credentials with BACP and NCPS, indicating recognised training and registration with established counselling bodies. She practices in private settings and offers sessions in person, by telephone, and online to accommodate different preferences. Her background in nursing and person-centered care shapes a supportive, client-led approach that aims to help people manage stress, relationships, grief, and a variety of emotional and life challenges.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support



Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist - offering a non-judgemental, empathetic space where the client's own goals and values guide the work. This approach is helpful for people facing relationship challenges, low self-esteem, grief, and general stress because it prioritises understanding and collaboration rather than directive advice.

Alexandra also works in an integrative way, bringing in elements from other therapeutic methods when they suit a client’s needs. That flexible approach allows a therapist to adapt techniques to issues such as anxiety, trauma-related concerns, or life transitions while keeping the client’s perspective central.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. As a registered professional, Alexandra will work collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from wherever the client is located, while allowing therapists to tailor session length and frequency to individual circumstances.
