About Alexander
Alexander Szendrei is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and life changes. He speaks English, Czech and Slovak. He draws on a range of approaches to suit each person and focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
He keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate. He listens for the patterns that cause pain and works with clients to make sense of difficult feelings. He aims to reduce shame and judgment so people can speak openly about their experiences.
Background and approach
Alexander uses a psychodynamic perspective to look at how past experiences and early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. He also works with attachment ideas to understand how people connect with others. He helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns so clients can choose different responses.
Sessions are collaborative. He uses client-centred and narrative methods to make space for each person’s story while also offering practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas. This combination aims to help people cope better day to day while also addressing deeper issues.
Across his work he supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, eating and body image issues, parenting stress and career pressures. He also offers help for trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue and a wide range of attachment and communication problems. He has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
People can expect a calm, patient approach that focuses on understanding and practical change.

Online support
He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques where helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. These practical steps are useful for managing low mood, anxiety or daily stress alongside deeper therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with each person to decide which combination of approaches fits their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful when a face-to-face style conversation matters, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quicker check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
