Alexander "Alex" Curran , BACP, NCPS

Alexander "Alex" Curran is a UK-based therapist with 16 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, grief and depression. He combines counselling and coaching skills to help clients navigate high-pressure situations, rehabilitation from injury or illness, and everyday challenges that can feel overwhelming. Alex holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which reflect recognised professional training and accreditation in counselling and psychotherapy.

His working style is warm and down-to-earth, moving at the client’s pace and avoiding technical jargon that can get in the way of honest conversation. He adopts a person-centered approach that honours each individual’s experience, and he has worked with a wide age range of clients, from primary school age through to adults. Alex aims to create a supportive environment where thoughts and emotions can be explored with empathy and practical guidance.

Clients often seek his help for issues such as family and parenting difficulties, intimacy and relationship problems, self-esteem and body image concerns, as well as addictions and coping with significant life changes. He also offers coaching to support rehabilitation and fitness goals alongside emotional work. If someone is struggling or facing a transition, Alex encourages them to take the next step toward feeling better by reaching out for support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alexander "Alex" Curran uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s own goals and experiences at the heart of the work, creating space for exploration and self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping, offering practical tools for managing symptoms and making changes. He also integrates mindfulness-based techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress regulation skills that can reduce rumination and improve emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alex works collaboratively with clients to select methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy with Alex is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit their daily life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
