About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Curran is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. He works with people who feel anxious, down, overwhelmed or who are dealing with relationship and family difficulties, parenting stress, addictions, trauma and anger. Sessions are offered in English.
Alex keeps language simple and direct in sessions. He avoids clinical jargon and focuses on clear conversation about what is causing strain. He aims to help people talk through what is happening and find practical ways to cope day to day.
His background includes work with stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression and addiction, as well as rehabilitation coaching related to injury and fitness. He has supported people with career pressures and first responder issues as part of that work. That experience shapes how he responds to high-pressure situations and practical life changes.
Alex describes his approach as person-centred. He works at the client’s pace and uses techniques that fit the individual situation. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused steps when those methods suit the problem at hand.
People who come to him for anger or relationship strain can expect straightforward conversation about triggers, patterns and small changes to try. He also addresses related concerns such as sleep, eating, self-esteem and intimacy when these come up in sessions.
To begin, clients follow the platform sign-up and booking steps to arrange an initial session. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How Alex uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person decide what matters most. It supports people who need a calm, paced conversation about feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers clear steps to try when anxiety, anger or low mood become overwhelming. These methods suit problems such as stress, sleep difficulties, relationship strain and unhelpful coping patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. Decisions about whether to focus on thought patterns, practical steps or mindful awareness are made with the client rather than imposed.
Session formats and exact arrangements are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to check in between commitments. They also allow shorter or more frequent appointments where that helps with goal setting and managing anger in daily life.
