Alexander Szendrei , BACP

Alexander Szendrei is an integrative humanistic therapist who brings a compassionate, non-judgemental approach to working with individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, addiction, and a wide range of other life challenges. Holding the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - he combines personal experience of therapy with professional training to create a collaborative environment where people can explore difficult feelings and life patterns without shame.

He frames his work through an integrative lens, drawing on humanistic values and psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships and early experiences influence present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This approach helps identify unhelpful patterns and opens pathways for meaningful change, whether the focus is on rebuilding connections, managing overwhelming emotions, or navigating life transitions such as parenting, career shifts, or health-related challenges.

Alexander adapts his methods to each person, tailoring interventions to what the individual needs in the moment. He places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work, emphasising trust, empathy, and mutual respect as the foundation for deeper self-understanding and growth. Fluent in English, Czech, and Slovak, he works with clients across issues including trauma and abuse, ADHD, eating concerns, family dynamics, and LGBT-related matters, always aiming to help people regain a stronger sense of self and more satisfying relationships with others.

Attachment and evidence-informed approaches for online care

Alexander uses well-established therapeutic approaches to guide his online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current attachment patterns and emotional responses - it can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard - it creates a supportive space for people to explore their values, identity, and self-esteem at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be effective for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alexander collaborates with each person to identify what feels most relevant based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques as the work unfolds so therapy remains responsive and goal-focused.

Online therapy with Alexander is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to be arranged around work, family, or other commitments.
