Alexandra Stochin
Integrative counsellor who blends practical support
About Alexandra
Alexandra Stochin offers integrative counselling that blends different therapeutic ideas to suit each person. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, grief or changes in life. Alexandra name-checks the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and works within their ethical framework as a BACP member.
She keeps sessions collaborative and paced to the individual. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting in the room and move at a speed that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Alexandra helps people talk through relationship strains, issues with sleep, low mood, anger and problems linked to addiction or trauma. Practical steps are used alongside reflection. People may look at coping strategies for stress, ways to improve self-esteem, or approaches to manage ADHD-related challenges.
The work often includes real-life tools to try between sessions and short reflections on what is or is not helpful. Alexandra has three years of experience in the field. Her approach aims to be straightforward and compassionate, with an emphasis on small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.
She supports people navigating career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related worries. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. The focus is on listening closely, understanding each person’s story, and finding practical ways forward together.

How integrative approaches work online
Alexandra uses an integrative way of working, combining evidence-based techniques to meet individual needs. One approach focuses on practical coping strategies - learning small, testable steps to manage stress, sleep or anxiety and then checking how they feel in day-to-day life. Another approach emphasises reflective conversation to make sense of difficult experiences such as grief or trauma and to identify patterns that keep problems going.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Alexandra works collaboratively with each person to decide which ideas to try first, adapts methods as progress is made, and reviews what helps most. This means the plan can change as goals and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter background or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging can help with brief check-ins, short reflections between sessions, or when text feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or busy days.
