Alexandra Thomas

Alexandra Thomas trained in nursing and has worked in hospitals and nursing homes. She brings that hands-on healthcare background into her counselling. Alexandra uses a person-centred approach and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people facing difficult life moments.

She describes her counselling style as holistic, shaped by nursing and by time spent in a range of care settings. Alexandra mainly follows the Person Centred approach but will sometimes draw on ideas from other models when it helps. Her manner is calm and grounded, with an emphasis on listening first and responding to what the person needs.

Alexandra completed a Level 4 counselling qualification in April, after three placements over three years. In total she records about nine hundred hours of therapy practice when including earlier work from two decades ago. That mix of recent supervised placements and longer-term experience informs how she works with people now.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and body image issues, career and life changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Alexandra also lists additional focus areas such as chronic illness and caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment concerns.

Sessions are available in English and she sees people in the United Kingdom. Alexandra works in private practice and offers in-person, online and telephone appointments; readers should confirm current session options when booking.

Person-centred care and online counselling

Alexandra primarily follows a Person Centred approach which focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of strong emotions, cope with grief, manage anxiety or work through life transitions. It centres the person’s own pace and priorities rather than imposing a set programme.

She also describes her work as holistic, drawing on her nursing experience to consider physical, emotional and practical needs together. That perspective can be useful when people face chronic illness, caregiver strain, or ageing-related concerns because it keeps everyday realities in view while talking through feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will work with the person to identify what feels helpful and adapt the way sessions run based on their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to agree on practical steps and ways of checking progress as therapy continues.

The biography notes she offers online and telephone sessions alongside in-person work, but readers should confirm exact session formats when booking. Online and telephone work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, and Alexandra’s background in healthcare informs how she supports people across different settings.
