Alexandra Grimes, NCPS

Alexandra Grimes is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and other life challenges. She has five years of professional experience and works in the United Kingdom. Alexandra aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can talk through what is worrying them and decide the direction of their work together.

She uses a person-centred approach, which places the client's experience at the heart of each session. That means sessions follow what the person brings, with Alexandra listening closely and reflecting back to help clarify feelings and goals. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to spot patterns of thinking and Psychodynamic perspectives to consider how past experiences affect current reactions.

Alexandra supports people dealing with a broad range of concerns including family and relationship issues, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating difficulties, and age-related worries such as ageing and geriatric issues. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, career challenges and ADHD-related concerns.

Her style is warm and empathic rather than directive. Clients set the agenda and Alexandra guides conversations to help them understand problems, try new ways of coping, and move toward clearer choices. She encourages video calls but will also work by phone or messaging if preferred; clients should confirm current session options when booking.

Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Alexandra applies therapeutic methods online

Alexandra works mainly in a person-centred way, which focuses on listening and reflecting the client's experience so they lead the pace and topics of sessions. This helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or decide what to change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT techniques can be practical for tackling anxiety, sleep problems, and unhelpful routines by testing small changes and noticing results.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match the client's needs. She stays flexible and adjusts methods as understanding grows so the work feels useful and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into daily life more easily and avoiding travel time. Video calls are recommended to help build rapport, but the biography also notes phone calls and messaging as alternatives; confirm which formats are offered when booking. Online work can make short check-ins simpler, reduce the need to rearrange a whole day, and let people join from quieter surroundings when that suits them.
