About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with young adults on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and attention difficulties such as ADHD. Alexandra focuses on practical, clear support for the pressures people face in early adulthood.
Her sessions are straightforward and person-focused. She treats the client as the expert on their life and uses that perspective to shape conversations. Alexandra listens for strengths and helps people use them to manage problems like low confidence, trouble concentrating, or difficulties in close relationships.
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past bonds affect current relationships. Client-Centred Therapy is used to let clients lead the discussion while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools are offered for skills-based work on mood, panic or unhelpful thoughts.
Alexandra commonly helps with issues such as intimacy, body image, communication problems, infidelity and guilt or shame. She also works with people dealing with panic attacks, mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. Other areas she has supported include eating and food-related issues, domestic violence and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She encourages small, manageable steps and checks in about what is useful as therapy progresses. To get started the service asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Alexandra uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationships shape current connection patterns and emotional responses. This approach can help when difficulties with intimacy, abandonment or attachment come up in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy is about following the client’s lead and reflecting back what matters. It is useful for building trust and exploring life purpose, self-esteem and feelings without a set agenda. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques for mood, panic attacks and unhelpful thoughts. CBT work can include short exercises and skills you practise between conversations. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will discuss goals and preferences together and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps decide whether a more reflective attachment focus or active CBT tools will be most helpful. Confirm the available session formats before you book, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into study or work easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people avoid travel. Speak with the service when arranging your first appointment to learn which session types are currently offered and what will suit your routine.Areas of expertise
