About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. He also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, addiction, parenting strain and work-related burnout. Alexander works in English, Czech and Slovak and holds BACP registration.
He uses an integrative approach that draws on a few different therapies to match what a person needs. Sessions often focus on noticing patterns in thoughts and feelings and on how past experiences shape present reactions.
Background and approach
Conversations are grounded and plain, with a focus on making small changes that feel manageable. Alexander places a lot of weight on the therapeutic relationship. He aims to offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about painful or confusing parts of their life.
That steady connection is used as the base for looking at difficult memories, attachment styles and current relationship patterns. Practically, he blends existential ideas about personal meaning with attachment-based thinking about relationships and client-centred listening. Cognitive techniques may be used to address anxious thinking, while narrative ideas help people reframe their story.
This flexible mix helps with a wide range of concerns, from trauma and eating issues to ADHD and career questions. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and routines.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people facing life transitions, questions of purpose or feelings of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection about values and direction.Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand how early bonds influence current intimacy and communication, useful for relationship difficulties and anxiety about closeness.
Client-centred therapy relies on empathetic listening and respect for a person's experience. It gives space for people to speak freely while the counsellor reflects and supports self-directed insight, which suits many worries from low self-esteem to grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. Over time techniques may shift as needs change, with you and the counsellor deciding what helps most.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less data and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
