Alexandra Thomas, BACP, NCPS

Alexandra Thomas trained originally as a nurse and moved into counselling after years working in hospitals and nursing homes. She holds a Level 4 counselling qualification achieved last April and lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials. Alexandra works from a person-centred stance and brings practical care experience into her conversations with clients.

Her background in nursing shapes a holistic view of wellbeing. She aims to meet people where they are and to listen before suggesting ways forward. Sessions tend to focus on everyday thoughts and habits and how these affect mood, relationships and daily functioning.

Alexandra describes her overall style as integrative, with person-centred therapy at the core. She may introduce ideas from other approaches when they help a particular issue. The work is generally collaborative, with attention to what feels helpful and realistic for each person.

She has worked with adults, students, young people and women, and has accumulated around nine hundred therapy practice hours when including earlier experience. Her listed specialities include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD and bereavement among others.

Alexandra currently provides counselling in private practice. Sessions are offered in person, online and by telephone, and she accepts international clients. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Client-Centred Work Fits Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on clear, non-judgemental listening and helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the client says, asks gentle questions and supports the person's own thinking about change. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and the everyday habits that shape how people feel.

Alexandra also describes her work as integrative, which means she may draw on short-term techniques when they suit a particular concern. That flexible approach can be useful for problems like stress, coping with life changes, or patterns of behaviour connected to eating or addictive habits. Deciding which ideas to use is a collaborative process between the client and therapist.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available when you book. The biography notes she offers online and telephone sessions as well as in person, so check which option fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between sessions. Telephone sessions can be a good choice when video is difficult or a shorter check-in is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the approach and format to your goals and preferences, working with you to find what feels most useful.
