About Alexsandro

Alexsandro Amaral is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also works with issues like low self-esteem, anger, coping with life changes and ADHD-related difficulties. He speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese and offers support to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.

He uses a person-centred style that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, rather than long theory.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to uncover strengths and workable changes that fit day-to-day life. His approach draws on a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. That mix means some sessions look at thoughts and behaviours, while others explore patterns that began in past relationships.

The goal is to reduce unhelpful habits and build more satisfying ways of relating to yourself and others. With three years of professional practice, Alexsandro brings recent clinical experience and a focus on supporting people through transitions and identity questions. He names BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as his professional affiliation.

People can expect calm, direct conversations that aim to make change feel possible. Sessions can be run through a range of online formats to suit different schedules and needs.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes by encouraging practical steps rather than long rumination.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple techniques to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, stress and some addiction-related habits because it gives clear exercises to practise between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns learned in relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and communication problems by exploring how early experiences shape present responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps the person make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper discussion. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier around busy schedules. Live chat and messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to keep work moving between longer sessions.
