Alexander "Alex" Curran

Alexander "Alex" Curran brings 16 years of counselling experience to his work. He greets people with a calm, straightforward manner and uses plain language so conversations stay clear. Alex aims to help those feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or struggling with relationships and life changes.

He has a long background supporting people with stress, addictions, depression and trauma. He also offers coaching for rehabilitation after injury or illness and has experience with parenting and family concerns. Eating and food-related issues, body image and caregiver stress are among the areas he pays close attention to.

Alex works at the client's pace and keeps sessions friendly and practical. He uses a person-centred stance alongside methods drawn from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches. He focuses on what a person wants to change and helps them build steps to get there.

Sessions aim to be a place to talk things through without jargon. Alex listens for patterns such as control issues, communication problems or attachment difficulties, and then helps people try different ways of responding. He also supports those coping with grief, substance issues, anger and career pressures.

People looking for straightforward support and clear tools often find this approach useful. To begin, callers are invited to use the Start Therapy path and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Approaches that translate to online support

Alex uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural approaches that can be useful in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers, which can help with self-esteem, parenting stress and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and helps people test and change patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and eating-related behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to agree what to try first, then adapts based on how things progress and what the person prefers.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. For some people it also makes it simpler to continue work during rehabilitation or when juggling family responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals tailor sessions to fit real life while focusing on the goals you bring to therapy.
