Alexandra Grimes , NCPS

Alexandra Grimes is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and a wide range of other life challenges. She works with issues including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiver stress, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and many relational and attachment-related difficulties. Alexandra brings a warm, empathic presence and a person-centred way of working that places each client’s experience at the heart of therapy.

She is non-directive in style, meaning clients set the agenda while she follows alongside to explore whatever matters most. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, and Alexandra collaborates with clients to shape a treatment plan that reflects their goals and pace. She encourages the courage it takes to seek change and aims to offer a calm, accepting space for exploration, understanding, and healing.

Alexandra holds the NCPS credential, indicating a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and she provides care online from her home practice. She accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats so people can connect in the way that suits them best.

Approaches and online care for meaningful change

Alexandra primarily works in a client-centred way, focusing on the person’s experiences and creating a supportive, non-directive space where clients set the agenda and explore what matters most. This approach helps with self-exploration, relationship concerns, grief, and emotional processing by fostering empathy and acceptance.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and stress by teaching coping skills and new ways of thinking.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another part of her toolkit, oriented toward small, achievable steps and building on strengths. That approach can be helpful when clients want goal-directed work, for example with career transitions, communication problems, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts sessions as those needs evolve. The focus is on what helps the client progress.

Online therapy with Alexandra is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and time zones. These options make it easier to access regular support and keep continuity of care while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor the experience to individual circumstances.
