About Alex

Alex Storey is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties, and she lists anger among her core concerns. Sessions focus on what the client brings and on practical ways to manage feelings that are causing strain in daily life.

Alex uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the client’s perspective at the centre of each session. That means conversations are led by the person seeking help, and the counsellor follows their concerns rather than imposing a fixed agenda. This approach suits people who want to speak through upsetting events, understand reactions, or rethink patterns that keep repeating.

Her background includes work with bereavement and loss, bullying and isolation, and a wide range of emotional and relationship problems. She also lists experience with issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating difficulties, parenting stress and self-esteem problems. The list reflects areas she has supported people with over her practice.

In sessions Alex aims for direct, straightforward conversations. She listens to the practical effects of feelings on work, home life and relationships. Together with the client she looks at ways to respond differently to triggers, to reduce snapping at loved ones, and to manage built-up resentment.

She describes herself as genuine and approachable, and says her own life experience shaped the decision to become a counsellor. To begin, clients are invited to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first appointment when ready.

How sessions work

How Client-Centred work adapts to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person seeking help at the centre of the work. In practice that means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what the client says, and follows the client’s priorities. This approach is helpful for anger that grows from relationship strain, grief, or ongoing stress because it lets the client lead the pace and topics.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding feelings and reactions in everyday situations. It is useful when someone wants to talk through how they respond to triggers, to notice repeating patterns, and to try new responses in day-to-day life. The emphasis is on clear conversation rather than on directing behavioural drills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will help decide which methods to use, based on the client’s goals and preferences, and they will adapt over time. That decision is collaborative and revisited as progress or new issues appear.

The biography does not specify session delivery methods, so confirm the precise online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and support short check-ins when needed. They also allow sessions that do not require being on camera or that use a quieter setup when bandwidth is limited.
