Alex Storey , BACP

Alex Storey uses a client-centred approach and puts the person at the heart of every session. She greets people with warmth and a straightforward manner. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and move at their pace. Alex aims to make the first steps less daunting for anyone considering counselling.

She has four years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, grief and depression, as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues. Alex also supports people dealing with addictions, eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar and major life changes.

Additional areas Alex often addresses are issues connected to family life such as parenting, blended family challenges, attachment and abandonment. She also helps people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiver strain, body image worries and career-related stress. Her practice covers trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and communication difficulties.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Alex listens first, then helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels steady rather than overwhelming.

People meet Alex by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The counsellor listens with empathy, reflects back what she hears and helps people make choices that feel right for them. This approach suits concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship worries and grief where being heard is the first step toward change.

Alex uses a conversational, non-directive style so people can bring what matters most to them. Together they explore options, set short-term goals and try practical steps between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process guided by each person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow regular, brief exchanges that fit busy days. These options help people fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
