About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also helps with grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addictions and issues linked to identity and LGBT matters. Alexander uses everyday language and a calm manner to make conversations easier to start.
He works from a humanistic, integrative stance and draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit what the person wants. He listens with compassion and without judgement, and pays attention to how past experiences shape present thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on understanding unhelpful patterns and finding manageable ways to change them.
Alexander uses a psychodynamic lens to look at how early relationships and life events affect current feelings and behaviour. He combines this with approaches that encourage clients to tell their story, reflect on values, and test new ways of thinking. Therapy aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and others and to build clearer daily routines and habits.
He has four years of experience working in therapeutic roles and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his credential. Conversations can cover practical goals such as coping strategies, communicating needs, or improving self-esteem. Alexander speaks English, Czech and Slovak and is based in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches that support thoughts and habits
Alexander blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work with thinking patterns and everyday routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape trust and closeness and helps people understand how those patterns repeat in adult life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in thinking and behaviour to ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain different ways of working, and together decide which methods to try first. Over time the plan can change based on what feels most useful for you.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is unpredictable. Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online or remote sessions make it easier to keep routine check-ins, try brief focused sessions for a quick progress review, or avoid travel time so therapy fits around work and family commitments.
