About Alex

Alex Storey is a client-centred therapist who places each person at the heart of their sessions. She works in a warm, genuine way and aims to create space for people to talk about what matters most. Alex has four years of practice supporting people through grief, anxiety and depression, among other concerns.

Her approach is simple and conversational. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and following the client’s lead. This helps people make sense of painful events, manage strong feelings and find clearer next steps.

Alex has worked with people facing bereavement and loss, bullying and isolation, and relationship difficulties. She also supports clients with stress, addictions, parenting strain, self-esteem and life transitions. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas.

Practical issues such as unsettled sleep, ongoing worry or trouble concentrating are discussed alongside deeper themes like attachment and abandonment. Alex uses straightforward language and gentle questioning to help clients explore patterns and choices.

Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule with her when ready.

Client‑centred care and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s pace so people can explore feelings and choices. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and many life changes by focusing on what the person brings to each session.

The collaborative nature of this work means the therapist and client decide together what helps most. Alex aims to understand a person’s priorities and then adapt conversations and goals over time. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and adjustments are made as needs and goals become clearer.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life and less time spent travelling. Online work can also make shorter check-ins more manageable and allow sessions without being on camera when that feels better for the client. The exact session formats offered by this therapist are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking to make sure they fit your routine and needs.
