Alexandra Grimes , NCPS

Alexandra Grimes is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and a wide range of other life challenges. She practices with warmth, empathy, and respect, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs. Holding the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training in counselling and psychotherapy, she adopts a person-centred, non-directive stance that places the client’s experience at the heart of the work.

Alexandra aims to provide a calm, accepting space where clients can explore what has been happening for them, process difficult emotions, and make sense of troubling patterns. She works collaboratively, following the client’s lead while offering guidance and support as needed. Although she recommends video calls to help establish a strong therapeutic connection, she also offers phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different preferences and circumstances.

Clients can expect a therapist who listens without judgment and who is committed to supporting and empowering them through change. Alexandra delivers online sessions from a focused home workspace, allowing for consistent, uninterrupted appointments that prioritize the client’s needs and therapeutic goals.

Approaches and online therapeutic support

Alexandra integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs, beginning with Client-Centred Therapy. This approach focuses on creating a respectful, empathic environment that keeps the client's experience central and helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. When appropriate, she draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships and patterns may influence current difficulties and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time to best support growth and change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect from different locations, and choose the format that feels safest and most comfortable for each session.
