About Alex
Alex Storey is a Client-Centred therapist who places the person at the centre of each session. She aims to offer a warm, genuine space where people can talk about worries and feel heard. Alex brings four years of experience to her counselling work and holds BACP registration.
She supports people with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship difficulties, grief and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Addictions, anger and self-esteem are additional areas she addresses. Alex has worked with issues linked to parenting, intimacy, eating and career pressures. Her practice also includes support for people affected by trauma and abuse, and those navigating ADHD or bipolar challenges.
She pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and blended family questions show up in everyday life. Her approach is client-centred, which means sessions focus on the person's own goals and experience. In practical terms this looks like reflective listening, gentle challenge and helping people find their own solutions.
Alex aims to help people notice small changes that make life feel more manageable. She understands starting therapy can feel daunting and keeps early sessions straightforward and unhurried. People are invited to set the pace and decide what to explore.
When someone is ready, Alex supports ongoing steps towards clearer choices and steadier coping.

Approaches Alex lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Alex works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about needs, preferences and what outcomes matter most. That shared planning helps shape how sessions are used and what to focus on week to week.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when that suits the person. Talk with the therapist about how to structure appointments so they work with day-to-day routines and goals.
