About Alex

Alex Storey is a Client-Centred Counsellor who places each person at the centre of therapy. She brings a warm, genuine manner and aims to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward. Alex works with people facing grief and loss as well as anxiety and depression, and she also supports those managing relationship strain, stress and life changes.

With four years of experience, Alex has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career worries. Additional focus areas listed include neurodiversity, ageing and health-related challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress.

In sessions Alex uses Client-Centred Therapy. That means she listens without judgement and follows the pace a person sets. The room is used to help people make sense of feelings and find their own direction rather than being told what to do.

Her style is down-to-earth and compassionate. Conversations typically focus on what matters most right now and on small, manageable steps forward. Alex invites people to explore feelings, make meaning from difficult events, and try new ways of coping.

Alex is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She asks people to begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions according to availability.

Client-Centred care and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first. The counsellor listens without judgement and mirrors what is said so people feel understood. This approach often helps with grief, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties by creating space to make sense of strong emotions.

Working this way online follows the same principles. Conversations focus on the client's priorities and the counsellor adapts to the pace and topics the client brings. This collaborative stance means the therapist and client decide together which style and topics to focus on as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time, which can make regular appointments simpler to keep. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to continue work after major life changes. The profile does not specify particular session formats, so confirm current session options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
