About Alexander
Alexander "Alex" Curran is a counsellor with 16 years of experience. He welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or who are facing difficult life events. Alex uses clear language and a calm manner to help people take the next steps toward feeling better.
He works at a steady, client-paced style. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person. Alex avoids jargon and explains ideas in plain terms so people can use them between meetings.
Background and approach
Across his career he has supported people with stress, anxiety and depression. He has also worked with those facing addiction, trauma and relationship strain. Other areas he covers include parenting pressures, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, grief and career concerns.
Alex blends several approaches to suit the person in front of him. He draws on client-centred methods to build trust and CBT to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when practical steps or grounding skills are helpful.
He is registered with BACP and NCPS, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a time that fits their schedule.
How Alex brings therapy online using practical approaches
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. It helps when people need a calm space to talk and be heard without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Alex will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centred listening, then adding CBT tools or mindfulness exercises as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video suits longer conversations and visual connection, phone can be lower-bandwidth and easier on the move, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging works well for paced, ongoing contact. These options aim to make access flexible while keeping the focus on practical work and steady progress.
