About Alexandra
Alexandra Thomas trained in nursing and moved into counselling after years working in hospitals and nursing homes. She brings practical healthcare experience into therapy and uses a person-centred way of working. Alexandra is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of recent qualifying experience in counselling. Her nursing background shaped a holistic outlook. That influences how she listens and responds.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on the person's experience and what feels most helpful in the moment rather than strict techniques. Alexandra has a varied practice history that includes work with adults, students, young people and women.
Across earlier and recent roles she has built about nine hundred hours of therapy practice and completed a Level 4 qualification last April after three placements over three years. Typical concerns she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, anger, self-esteem, addictions and trauma.
She also supports people with grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, career questions, coping with life changes and ADHD among other areas. Her style is warm and listening-led. She prefers to work collaboratively, helping people to talk through their priorities and find manageable next steps.
Practical day-to-day coping strategies are often discussed alongside looking at feelings and patterns. Sessions are offered in a independent practice setting and remotely. If unsure about session options, confirm the current formats before booking.
Alexandra uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Alexandra works online
Her nursing background adds a holistic perspective to the person-centred way of working. That means practical life factors and physical health can be part of conversations when relevant, which can help with issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will discuss goals and preferences and adapt sessions so they feel useful and manageable. She treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision based on what the client needs.
The biography indicates she offers remote sessions from independent practice, but specific formats are not listed in detail here. Please confirm which remote formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still using the person-centred focus to explore feelings and plan practical steps.
