Alexandra Thomas , BACP, NCPS

Alexandra Thomas brings a background in nursing to her work as a therapist, with experience across both hospital wards and nursing homes. Her nursing practice was informed by a holistic approach to care, and that perspective continues to shape how she supports people in therapy. She works in an integrative way but primarily follows a person-centred approach, drawing on other models when they may benefit a client.

Alexandra qualified with a Level 4 in April after completing three placement experiences over a three-year period. Her practice history includes counselling work with adults, students, young people, and women. Counting earlier practice hours from around twenty years ago, she has accumulated roughly nine hundred hours of therapy practice.

In addition to her therapeutic experience, Alexandra holds professional credentials listed as BACP and NCPS, signifying recognised qualifications and memberships related to counselling and psychotherapy. She maintains a private practice and provides sessions in person, online, and by telephone. Her approach emphasises empathy, listening, and tailoring support to each person she works with.

Client-Centred and Integrative Approaches for Online Care

Alexandra Thomas primarily uses a client-centred approach, which focuses on creating an accepting and empathic environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal growth. This method is helpful for people working through relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, anxiety, and grief.

She also practises in an integrative way, bringing in tools from other therapeutic models when they suit a client’s needs - for example combining empathic listening with practical strategies to manage stress or coping with life changes. This flexibility helps tailor sessions to individual goals and presenting issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alexandra works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often adjust methods over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Alexandra can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels, make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and increase access for people who are living outside the therapist’s immediate area.
