Alexandra Thomas, BACP, NCPS

Alexandra Thomas trained originally as a nurse and brings that practical background into her counselling work. She uses a Person Centred approach and keeps sessions rooted in the person in front of her. Alexandra works in private practice and offers in-person, online and telephone appointments.

Her nursing experience included hospital work and care homes, and that history shapes how she listens. She describes her clinical style as holistic and integrative, drawing mainly on Person Centred therapy while sometimes adding elements from other models when helpful.

Alexandra completed a Level 4 counselling qualification last April after three placement experiences during her training. Including earlier practice from around twenty years ago, she reports about nine hundred hours of therapy practice in total.

She has three years of recent counselling experience and works with adults, students and young people, and women. Typical concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions and caring-related strain.

Her practice also notes focus areas such as chronic pain, cancer, adoption and foster care, autism and attachment issues. Alexandra aims to make sessions clear and straightforward, helping people talk through whatever is making life harder and build practical ways to cope.

Person Centred support online and how it helps

Alexandra primarily practises Person Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead. This approach works well when someone needs space to make sense of strong feelings, cope with loss, or consider relationship problems.

She also describes her work as holistic and integrative, so she may bring in helpful ideas from other approaches when they suit a person’s situation. That can be useful for addressing practical issues like stress management, coping with chronic illness, or navigating life changes.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Alexandra will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on someone’s goals and preferences. She encourages open discussion about methods and will adjust the approach as the work develops.

Her biography notes she provides online and telephone sessions as well as in-person appointments. Please confirm the exact session options when booking to match what will fit your routine. Online and telephone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Many people find these formats help them keep continuity of care while managing health or caregiving commitments.
