Alexandra Thomas, BACP, NCPS

Alexandra Thomas trained first in nursing and brings that hands-on healthcare background into her counselling work. She combines a holistic nursing perspective with a person-centred way of working to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. Alexandra has worked in hospitals and nursing homes and now offers sessions from her private practice in the United Kingdom. Her therapy style is warm and direct. She listens closely and helps people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and pace, whether that is managing anxiety, coping with illness, or navigating relationship and career concerns. Alexandra follows Client-Centred Therapy as her main approach and sometimes draws on other models when helpful. That means she aims to create space for people to talk through painful experiences and find their own solutions. She has practical experience supporting issues such as addiction, trauma, eating and intimacy-related difficulties. She has three years of recent counselling placements and counts around nine hundred hours of therapy practice when including earlier work. Her credentials include BACP and NCPS, and she works with adults, students, young people and women. Alexandra also supports people dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and loss. People looking for a collaborative, person-focused counsellor may find her approach straightforward and grounded.

How Alexandra’s Person-Centred Approach Works Online

Alexandra primarily follows Client-Centred Therapy, which means she focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgement. In practice she listens closely, reflects what she hears and supports people to explore feelings and choices at their own pace. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Her nursing background informs a holistic view of wellbeing, so she may bring attention to how physical health and caregiving stress affect emotions. That perspective can help when people are coping with chronic illness, ageing and geriatric issues, or caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Alexandra will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which ways of working suit each person. She may keep to Client-Centred Therapy or introduce other elements when they help meet practical needs.

Online or telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person meeting is not possible.
