Alex Storey

Alex Storey is a Client-Centred Therapist who places each person at the heart of sessions. She uses a warm, genuine manner to help people talk through grief, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Alex writes in plain language and aims to make first contacts feel straightforward and unthreatening.

She has four years' experience working with people facing bereavement and loss, bullying and isolation, and a range of emotional and behavioural concerns. That experience includes helping people struggling with addictions, self-esteem and identity questions, and coping with major life changes. Alex also lists work around neurodiversity, attachment and communication challenges.

In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and following the person's pace. The counselling style encourages people to find their own answers, while the therapist offers gentle reflection and practical suggestions when needed. This makes sessions useful for both immediate problems and longer-term personal growth.

Alex explains her own life experiences influenced her choice to become a counsellor. She presents as approachable and committed to supporting people through difficult transitions. She invites those ready to begin to take a first step and arrange an initial meeting.

Background and approach: Alex is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on client-centred principles to build a trusting relationship, and adapts her responses to each person's concerns and goals. People looking for help with stress, parenting pressures, chronic illness, or difficult relationship patterns may find her style particularly helpful.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Alex practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on empathic listening, reflecting feelings and following the person's lead. This approach helps when people are dealing with grief, anxiety, relationship strain or life changes because it centres the person's experience and encourages their own insights.

Her style aims to create a calm space where the client sets the pace. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful, adjust the tone of sessions, and try different ways of working until a comfortable fit is found.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work and family life, reduced travel time, and the ability to check in from wherever you are in the UK. Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the therapist. Together the client and therapist will choose a way of meeting that fits the client's goals and day-to-day routine.
