Alexandra Grimes , NCPS

Alexandra Grimes is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that signals formal training in therapeutic practice. She supports people navigating stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBT and intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and anger, self-esteem and career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the many life transitions that can feel overwhelming.

Working in a person-centered way, Alexandra places each client's experiences at the heart of the therapeutic process and adapts conversations and plans to meet individual needs. Her approach is warm, empathic, and non-judgmental, aimed at helping clients understand and process their difficulties while building practical coping strategies and personal insight. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration, and she encourages the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life.

Alexandra offers online sessions from a home practice and recommends video calls to foster connection, though phone, live chat, and messaging are available to suit personal preference. She is accepting new clients and works with international clients whose needs align with her areas of focus.

Online approaches and how they work together

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-directive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach helps people who need support exploring emotions, building self-awareness, and making personal choices at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured method that looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and specific patterns that contribute to ongoing problems by introducing skills for changing unhelpful thinking and developing coping strategies.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward desired changes. It can be especially helpful when clients want clear, goal-oriented work and quicker progress on particular issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Alexandra works together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend appointments from wherever the client is based, and select the communication style that best supports therapeutic work.
