About Alexander Szendrei
Alexander Szendrei is an integrative humanistic therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a practical, relationship-focused approach to supporting people through difficult moments. With four years of professional experience, he emphasizes the trusting connection between therapist and client as the foundation for meaningful work and offers compassion and a non-judgemental stance from the start.
His own experience of being in therapy shaped the decision to become a therapist, and that personal background informs a collaborative style. As an integrative practitioner he combines ideas and techniques from several established approaches to tailor the way he works to each person. He frequently uses a psychodynamic lens to explore how past experiences and early relationships influence present feelings and patterns, helping to identify repeating thoughts, emotions, and behaviours so they can be understood and shifted.
Alexander works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, family and parenting difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating-related issues, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, career challenges and coping with life changes. He also attends to additional areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. His practice draws on methods including attachment-based therapy, client-centered and existential approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative and psychodynamic therapies, and trauma-focused work.
He is credentialed with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides therapy in English, Czech, and Slovak. Alexander aims to help people reduce internal conflict, strengthen self-understanding, and rebuild a sense of connection with themselves and others.
