About Alex
Alex Storey is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She places each person at the heart of the work and aims to create a compassionate space to talk about what matters most. Sessions focus on listening, understanding, and helping clients find their own next steps.
She has four years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Alex also helps people facing stress, life changes, addiction concerns and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Phobias are included among the areas she lists, and she will listen to fears and avoidance with a practical, steady approach. Her background combines personal experience with clinical practice, which she says inspired her to become a counsellor. That perspective informs a warm and genuine style in sessions.
Conversations are intended to be calm and paced to each person's needs rather than rushed. Alex uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's lead. That means she offers empathy and acceptance while people work through problems at their own pace.
The focus is on helping clients find what feels right for them and build on small steps of change. She works with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, body image, chronic illness, ADHD and bipolar challenges. People meet by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging depending on what suits them.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Alex practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
Client-centred care through online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects back what she hears so people can better understand their feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns because it helps people find their own solutions.Alex uses a warm, non-directive style that lets clients set the pace. She will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful and adapt the approach as goals become clearer. Deciding on the right style is part of the work and will be reviewed together over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments.
