About Alex
Alex Storey is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and anger. Her practice also covers a wide range of life difficulties such as parenting concerns, addiction, career worries and coping with change.
Alex uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person at the centre of each session. That means she listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client. Sessions aim to create space for people to describe what they are feeling and to make sense of difficult moments in everyday language.
Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, isolation and bullying as well as longer-term struggles like mood difficulties and addictive behaviour. She draws on her own life experience to inform how she relates to clients and how she talks about challenges in practical terms.
In sessions Alex focuses on building a reliable working relationship and on small, manageable steps people can try between appointments. Conversations often cover communication patterns, triggers for anger or anxiety, and ways to reduce unhelpful coping habits. The emphasis is on what people can do now to feel less overwhelmed.
People who choose Alex often want straightforward, person-focused conversations rather than technical jargon. She encourages clients to set clear goals and to review progress together as work continues. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
Client-centred support and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experiences and priorities at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without directing the story, reflects what is said, and helps the person make sense of feelings like anger, grief or anxiety. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to steer the focus of therapy themselves.In practice this means sessions begin by discussing what matters now and by setting clear, short-term goals. The counsellor and client review what helps and what doesn’t, and agree simple steps to try between meetings. This collaborative way of working helps to tailor the process to each person’s needs and preferences as the work goes on.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid travel time. The counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and adapt the format to suit quieter surroundings, less bandwidth or not being on camera, depending on the client’s needs.
