About Alexandra
Alexandra Squires is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about taking that first step.
She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's own priorities first. That means sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behaviour. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with intense feelings and to build steadier attention. Psychodynamic ideas may also be explored to look at how past patterns affect current reactions.
Alexandra combines these approaches to fit each person's goals rather than sticking to a single method. In sessions she aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. She works with people to set realistic steps and practical strategies.
The focus is on making day-to-day life feel more manageable and rebuilding confidence. She supports people through specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. Additional areas she has worked with include autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems and relationship separation.

How Alexandra works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It involves practical steps and small experiments to test unhelpful beliefs, which many people find helpful for anxiety, low mood and eating-related concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. These practices can support emotional regulation and steadier attention in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss different methods and help the person choose which ones to try, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together rather than imposed.
If you are considering online sessions, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming options ensures the practical setup fits your day-to-day routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins, and remove travel time so people can focus on the session itself.
