Alexandra Thomas, BACP, NCPS

Alexandra Thomas trained initially as a nurse and moved into counselling after many years in healthcare. She blends that nursing background with counselling practice to offer a down-to-earth way of working. Alexandra uses a person-centred approach as her main orientation and adapts sessions to each person's needs.

Her nursing experience in hospitals and nursing homes shaped a holistic view of wellbeing. That background informs how she listens and responds to concerns about stress, anxiety, depression and physical-health impacts on mood. She also supports people struggling with relationship worries, anger, grief and addiction-related issues.

Alexandra works with adults, students, young people and women, and she has accrued about nine hundred therapy practice hours when including earlier work from around twenty years ago. She completed a Level 4 qualification last April after three placements over three years. Her listed professional registrations are BACP and NCPS.

In sessions Alexandra offers a person-centred style that focuses on the person rather than a label. She aims to create space for people to talk, be heard and reflect. At times she brings in helpful ideas from other approaches to fit what someone needs.

She practices from the United Kingdom and provides online and telephone sessions as well as in-person work in independent practice. International clients are accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

How Alexandra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alexandra primarily uses a person-centred approach, which means she focuses on listening, understanding and helping the person feel heard. This approach suits issues like stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries because it creates time to talk through feelings and find personal insights.

She draws on her nursing background to take a holistic view, noticing how physical health and life circumstances affect mood. That perspective helps when clients raise concerns such as chronic illness, caregiving stress or the emotional impact of medical situations.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Alexandra will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust her approach based on the client’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed plan from the start.

Practical benefits of online and telephone sessions include fitting therapy around busy schedules and avoiding travel time. Telephone sessions can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when video would add extra bandwidth demands. Because formats can change, confirm the current session options before booking so they match your day-to-day needs.
