About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. He supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, addiction and compassion fatigue. Alexander also works with those facing bereavement and end-of-life matters, and with a wide range of related concerns such as depression and low self-esteem.
He uses a human-centred approach and focuses on building a trusting working relationship. Sessions begin with listening and understanding where a person is right now. Alexander offers a non-judgemental space so people can talk honestly about painful experiences.
Alexander blends several approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and on psychodynamic thinking to consider how past experiences shape current feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking when that is useful.
In practical terms he aims to help people reduce internal conflict and regain a sense of connection with themselves and others. Therapy can include looking at life stories, meaning, and how to manage everyday stresses. Alexander explains things plainly and works at a pace that suits each person.
He holds BACP accreditation, and brings four years of direct counselling experience to his work. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak. To begin, people follow the site process to match with him and arrange sessions according to his availability.

How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and behaviour. It helps when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship difficulties are the main concern. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. It suits those who need space to process emotions and make sense of life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexander will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caring commitments and saving travel time. If you would like to book, please confirm the current session options before arranging any appointments as formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to keep continuity of care and to maintain regular check-ins even when life is busy.
