About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, addiction and coping with life changes. He also helps with issues such as ADHD, self-esteem, anger, career pressure and compassion fatigue. Alexander is BACP registered and works from the United Kingdom.
He speaks English, Czech and Slovak. Alexander approaches therapy in a human-centred way. He places emphasis on a trusting therapeutic relationship and aims to offer compassion without judgement.
Background and approach
He tends to explore how past experiences and early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. This helps people make sense of repeating patterns and painful reactions. He draws on a mix of methods to match each person’s needs, including psychodynamic ideas about early influences, cognitive behavioural techniques for thinking patterns, and narrative ways of looking at life stories.
Sessions focus on what is most helpful right now rather than following a single fixed method. In practice he works at a steady pace, inviting people to talk about everyday struggles and difficult memories. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioural changes, and reframe personal stories in ways that feel more manageable.
The work aims to reduce internal conflict and restore a sense of connection with self and others. With four years of clinical experience and a background in humanistic practice, Alexander supports people who want a thoughtful, relational approach to change.

How Alexander works online
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alexander works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adapts over time as those needs change. He will discuss options together rather than imposing a single method.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, as sessions can reduce travel time and allow appointments around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what is available. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and make therapy more accessible.
