About Alexander Szendrei

Alexander Szendrei is an integrative humanistic therapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice and a BACP credential - a membership indicating adherence to standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He draws on his own experience of therapy to inform a compassionate, non-judgemental way of working and believes that seeking support for difficult periods is a sign of strength rather than shame.

He prioritizes the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, offering empathy and acceptance as the starting point for their work together. As an integrative practitioner, he adapts methods from several established approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than applying a single model to every situation.

Alexander commonly uses attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside existential and narrative ideas to explore how past experiences, relationship patterns, and current thinking influence emotions and behaviour. His focus includes relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and life transitions. The goal of his work is to help people reduce internal conflict, strengthen connection with themselves and others, and build practical ways of coping that support meaningful change and greater clarity in daily life.

Approach-Led Online Therapy Tailored to Your Needs

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early close relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people understand fears of abandonment, trust issues, and difficulties forming intimacy, and supports new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their values, identity, and personal goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours; it is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Alexander works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as the work evolves. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from where you are. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, a range of ways to communicate, and continuity of care for people navigating work, family, or mobility constraints, while retaining the same therapeutic aims as in-person work.
