About Alexandra

Alexandra Skan is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings a warm, interactive style to her work. She has four years of professional counselling experience and twelve years of extensive experience supporting people with addictions and substance misuse, an area she is particularly passionate about.

Alexandra works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, self-esteem and motivation, domestic abuse, life changes, and eating and intimacy-related matters. She aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored with sensitivity and respect. As a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows professional standards of practice.

Her therapeutic approach blends cognitive-behavioural techniques with humanistic and attachment-informed perspectives, and sessions are tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Alexandra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and related difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and can be especially helpful for attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and collaboration to build self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alexandra works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit. She will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and adapt methods so that sessions feel relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support from different locations. Registered professionals can work effectively online to provide structured therapy, reflective listening, and practical strategies tailored to each person’s circumstances.
