Alexandra Squires, BACP

Alexandra Squires is a counsellor with 11 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP, which appears after her name as BACP. Alexandra helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or stuck in relationship and eating-related difficulties.

She creates a relaxed, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful feelings and troubling thoughts. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Alexandra aims to make sessions plain and practical so people leave with something to try between meetings.

Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s experience central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with noticing and calming intense feelings.

Alexandra has also studied psychodynamic ideas, which she uses to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. She often combines these approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method.

Clients bring a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, eating struggles and feelings around abandonment or attachment. Alexandra works with these topics in straightforward language and supports people as they try out different ways of handling daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering empathy, listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own answers. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and feelings of loss.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses straightforward exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and mood problems and can provide clear tasks to work on between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods to suit their needs. Decisions about which techniques to try are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm practical options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that helps someone to participate. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people sustain regular sessions while balancing day-to-day life.
