About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei offers help for stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people coping with life changes, addiction, self-esteem struggles, anger and career concerns. He works with issues linked to ADHD, compassion fatigue and a wide range of attachment and communication problems. Alexander is based in the United Kingdom and uses English, Czech and Slovak in his work.
Alexander draws on several therapy styles to suit the person in front of him. He values a trusting therapeutic relationship and starts from a stance of compassion and non-judgement. Sessions aim to make everyday problems clearer and to find practical ways forward that fit each person's life.
His background includes four years of experience as a practising therapist and registration with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Alexander speaks about how past experiences and early relationships shape present difficulties, and he pays attention to those patterns in sessions.
He uses a psychodynamic perspective to look at how past events influence current feelings and actions. He also works in client-centred ways, focusing on the person’s own priorities, and draws on cognitive approaches to help change unhelpful thinking. Narrative and attachment ideas are used where they help a person make sense of their story and relationships.
In sessions Alexander aims to reduce internal conflict and increase clarity about choices. He helps people strengthen their sense of self and improve how they connect with others. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Alexander’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape how people feel and react now. It helps when someone wants to understand patterns in close relationships and improve emotional connection. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and experience, offering empathic listening and support to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and use practical steps to reduce unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alexander will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree which combination of methods fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats Alexander currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access a therapist who speaks English, Czech or Slovak when travel would be difficult. Talk with Alexander about what will work best for your routine and needs.
