About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral is a psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with young adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems around self-esteem and life transitions. He also supports people facing trauma, ADHD and neurodiversity concerns, and matters related to gender and LGBT experience.
He uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience central. From that base he draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and practical, focused on what a person wants to change and how to move forward.
Alexsandro pays attention to attachment and relational themes when relationships or past hurts affect day-to-day life. He also works with difficulties linked to body image, codependency, control issues and the pressures that come with starting work or leaving education. He aims to help people clarify next steps and make manageable changes.
He offers support in English, Spanish and Portuguese, which can help people living and working across cultures. The approach is direct and respectful, aimed at people who want clear, usable strategies as well as time to talk things through.
To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session. Payment uses a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck by worry, avoidance or uncertainty about life direction.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It is helpful when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems cause distress and someone wants clearer ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try different ways of working until a helpful fit is found. This is a collaborative process that considers goals, practical needs and personal preferences.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel and to keep appointments when schedules are busy. Online work can also use shorter check-ins, audio-only meetings when less bandwidth is available, or standard video sessions for face-to-face conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods such as ACT and attachment work to suit the online format and the client’s everyday life.
