How Alexandra works
She works with concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality traits and communication problems. Her approach blends cognitive behavioural ideas with acceptance and commitment therapy. That means clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioural experiments and connect with personal values.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added when helpful to build momentum and reduce avoidance. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Alexandra will work with each person to set small steps that fit their life.
She uses simple tools to track progress and adjust plans as things change. Therapy can suit someone who wants clear strategies and emotional support. Alexandra aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly.
She encourages practical changes that make day-to-day life easier.

Online support options
How Alexandra’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises to clarify what matters and small actions to try during the week. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Online CBT uses worksheets, behaviour experiments and short homework tasks that fit into everyday routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as you learn what helps, so therapy stays practical and collaborative rather than fixed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let you use visual cues and exercises that feel most like in-person sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief reflections, between-session support and people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, study and family commitments.
