Alexandra Squires, BACP

Alexandra Squires is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those struggling with relationships, eating and self-esteem. She aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, steady support during difficult moments.

She creates an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and working at a pace that suits each person. Alexandra draws on approaches that encourage practical change as well as deeper reflection.

Her work includes using client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people manage stress and stay grounded in the present.

Alexandra has supported people with complex background issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment difficulties. She also works with concerns around body image, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and the strains that come with divorce or separation.

Her BACP credential is listed as a professional affiliation. Sessions take place in the UK and are conducted in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How Alexandra's approaches translate online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to each person and following their lead. Online work using this approach means sessions centre on the client's priorities and the counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help make sense of feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change it. Delivered remotely, CBT can include practical tasks between sessions and clear steps to reduce anxiety, low mood or eating-related behaviours.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Alexandra will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then adding CBT or mindfulness techniques as needed.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a work break, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions convenient for maintaining continuity of care alongside everyday commitments.
