About Alexandra
Alexandra Stochin offers an integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and life events. Alexandra aims to make first steps into therapy less daunting and will answer questions to help someone feel comfortable before they begin.
She works collaboratively, moving at a pace that suits each person. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and building practical ways to cope.

Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also helps with addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and career-related stress.

How integrative approaches work online
Alexandra uses integrative, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning practical ways to change them, which helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach emphasises exploring emotions and past experiences to make sense of patterns and build different ways of relating to oneself and others, which can be useful for trauma, grief and relationship concerns.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. This collaborative process means the approach can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel while fitting around work and family commitments. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who find typing helps them gather their thoughts or need support between calls. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats to make therapy more accessible and to match the way someone prefers to communicate.
