About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He supports those dealing with grief, intimacy-related concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse. He also works with issues such as parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career worries and compassion fatigue.
Alexander uses a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. He starts by listening to what matters most and then works with each person to set practical aims. He believes trust matters in therapy and aims to offer a non-judgemental space to talk through hard things.
How Alexander works
Alexander trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience. He draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the work to each person's needs rather than using a single fixed method. He often explores how past experiences affect present feelings and relationships.
That can help make sense of patterns in thinking and behaviour and open up possibilities for change. He tailors discussions so people can apply new ideas in everyday life. Sessions are available in English, Czech and Slovak.
Alexander offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Alexander aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and others, and to build practical ways to manage life changes and emotional pain.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Alexander often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape how people relate to others now; this can help when intimacy, trust or communication feel difficult. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions by creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical changes that can ease anxiety and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they remain relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expression and body language, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for day-to-day reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, while keeping focus on the therapeutic aims.
