About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also works with issues around ADHD, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
He uses a person-centred style that puts the client's experience first. Sessions focus on building on strengths and making small, practical changes. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people notice what matters and act on it.
His approach draws on a mix of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside attachment-focused work. That mix is used to tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than applying one fixed method.
Alexsandro has three years of professional practice and speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. He aims to offer culturally aware support for those living or working abroad as well as people based in the UK.
People who choose to work with him can expect an encouraging, non-judgemental space to talk through immediate worries and long-standing patterns. He helps people develop clearer goals, experiment with new ways of coping, and track progress over time.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, trust and abandonment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the client's own wisdom to guide change and can be a steady way to work through shame and low self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing appointments around work or family commitments, and supporting shorter or more flexible check-ins when that suits a schedule. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while working towards clearer goals.
