About Alessandra

Alessandra Samson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people who feel worn out from always being the reliable one. Alessandra focuses on helping clients notice patterns of saying yes when they mean no and relearn how to look after themselves.

Her approach starts by making sense of how coping strategies once kept people safe.

Background and approach

Alessandra listens for how fear of rejection, conflict or being "too much" shaped choices. From there she helps clients practise different responses and reclaim their own needs without shame. Sessions can be short term or longer work, depending on what someone needs.

Alessandra uses client-centred and solution-focused ways of working that keep the person and practical steps at the centre. She aims to move from understanding a pattern to trying small changes in day-to-day life. Typical concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, depression and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Alessandra also focuses on relationship issues such as communication, commitment and separation, and on pressures like caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Her style is gentle but direct. She encourages gradual experiments in setting boundaries and saying no.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines.

Approaches and online therapy that focus on practical change

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people name what they feel and need. This approach is useful for building self-awareness and recovery after experiences like trauma and relationship hurt.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals. It looks for strengths and past successes and uses them to design practical change. This approach often helps with issues such as stress, anxiety, setting boundaries and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alessandra will discuss options and decide together with each person which way of working fits best. That collaborative process adjusts as needs and goals change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or who need to fit therapy around work and daily life. Registered or accredited professionals can support effective change through these varied formats.
