Alexander "Alex" Curran , BACP, NCPS

Alexander "Alex" Curran is a UK-based therapist with 16 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief and depression. He brings a calm, approachable style to his work and aims to meet clients at their own pace, using plain language rather than clinical jargon to keep the therapeutic relationship clear and accessible.

Alex's background includes work with individuals and families across a wide age range, from primary-school-aged children to adults, and experience in high-pressure situations and coaching for rehabilitation following injury or illness. He combines a person-centered way of working with practical tools to address immediate concerns while also exploring longer-term patterns that affect wellbeing.

He holds BACP and NCPS credentials - professional qualifications that reflect training and membership within recognised counselling bodies - and applies those standards to his practice. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space for exploring emotions, rebuilding coping skills and planning steps toward improved daily functioning. Alex encourages anyone facing a difficult season to reach out, acknowledging that asking for support is a meaningful act of strength.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Alexander integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment so clients can explore their feelings at their own pace and build self-understanding; this approach is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns and life transitions. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches coping strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness therapy is included to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills, useful for overwhelm, anxiety and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexander works with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, coordinate around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor support to each individual.
