About Alex

Alex Storey is a Client-Centred therapist who places each person at the heart of the work. She draws on four years of practice to help people who are dealing with bereavement, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Alex aims to make the first steps into counselling feel manageable and straightforward.

Her approach is warm and genuine. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people notice what matters to them. She uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means the client leads the pace and direction of the conversation while the counsellor offers empathic reflection.

Alex has worked with a range of concerns including grief, stress, addictions, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing life changes, career pressures, parenting stresses and problems with self-esteem. Codependency is listed among her areas of focus for people wanting to explore relationship patterns.

She is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Alex works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients at this time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session according to the counsellor's availability. Pricing varies with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred Therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and uses empathic listening and reflection to help them find their own way forward. In practice this means the counsellor offers acceptance and understanding while the client sets the pace and topics. This approach can help with grief, anxiety, relationship patterns and issues like codependency.

Alex's work centres on supporting people to notice what matters to them and to build on their own strengths. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful. That collaboration includes checking goals, trying different ways of talking and adjusting as needs change.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the specific formats available before booking since session types are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins at a convenient moment, or make it simpler to join a session when away from the usual routine. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these options to increase accessibility, and the counsellor will discuss practical arrangements when you get in touch.
