Alexandra Squires , BACP

Alexandra Squires is a UK-licensed therapist with 11 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, eating concerns, low motivation, self-esteem difficulties, and depression. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and integrates evidence-informed methods to meet each client’s needs.

Alexandra emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered approach that encourages honest exploration of thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. She works with clients to identify practical strategies for managing symptoms, improving communication in relationships, and building confidence. When eating issues or body image concerns arise she helps clients explore underlying patterns and develop more helpful coping skills. Alexandra’s practice also addresses a wide range of related challenges, including attachment and abandonment themes, caregiving stress, chronic health concerns, and the complex dynamics of blended families and adoption or foster care experiences.

Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, and Alexandra aims to provide steady support through that process. She creates a warm, open space for reflection and growth, helping people clarify their goals and develop realistic steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches for Online Support and Daily Challenges

Alexandra Squires draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s experience through empathy and non-judgmental listening; this approach helps those who want to explore their values, increase self-understanding, and strengthen confidence. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and works to replace them with more constructive strategies - it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and reactive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy is offered as well, teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction skills that can support emotional regulation and coping with difficult sensations or cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alexandra collaborates with each client to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is working and adapt the plan so therapy remains relevant and focused.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to engage from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
