About Alexandra
Alexandra Herzog is a PACFA counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people find more balance and clarity. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, low self-worth, grief, stress and major life changes. Her style is practical and forward-moving for people who want to make real shifts.
Alexandra blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Sessions aim to build clearer understanding of feelings and patterns, then try small, workable steps that fit a person's life.
Background and approach
She uses plain language and keeps the work grounded in what clients can do between sessions. Her background includes work across psychotherapy, neuroscience and systemic ways of thinking. That mix helps her map how thoughts, emotions and relationships interact.
She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when useful to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. People come to Alexandra for help with parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress, sleep or eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with abandonment, family of origin wounds, attachment issues and separation or divorce.
Sessions include practical tools alongside emotional understanding. Alexandra offers work in English and German and provides supervision for other therapists. Her approach suits those ready to reflect, try new ways of relating to themselves, and take gradual steps toward change.

Online support
How emotion-focused and ACT help online
Alexandra commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small committed actions, helping people tolerate difficult thoughts while moving toward what matters.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss preferences, needs and goals and then use one or a mix of methods that suit the person. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adapted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes and reflections between sessions or use a written format that feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
