About Alexandra
Alexandra Grimes is a warm, empathic counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what is worrying them and decide what to work on.
Alexandra draws on five years of professional experience and uses a person-centred stance that keeps the client’s experience at the core of sessions. She works collaboratively and follows the client’s lead, while offering structure when useful.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped to the individual, with practical strategies introduced when they match the person’s goals. Alexandra is comfortable supporting people with grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and parenting stress. Her background includes training and practice with client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas.
That mix lets her combine close listening with ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts and spot recurring patterns from the past. Solution-focused techniques are used when the client wants shorter, goal-oriented work. Sessions are offered from her home practice in the United Kingdom and she accepts international clients in English.
Meetings can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging depending on what fits the person’s life. Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Alexandra encourages a gentle, paced approach.
She helps people understand and process difficulties, and supports them as they try different ways of coping. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alexandra will help clients decide which methods suit their situation, goals and preferences and will adapt the style over time. This means sessions can be exploratory, patterned or goal-focused depending on what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy here is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls are recommended for building rapport and seeing the counsellor, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy days or provide ongoing written support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
