About Alexsandro

Alexsandro Amaral is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. He works with issues around relationships, intimacy, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He communicates in English, Spanish and Portuguese to support a diverse range of clients.

He uses a person-centred approach that treats each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on simple, practical steps to improve concentration, memory and daily habits. Conversations are geared towards small changes that make daily life easier.

His work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. These methods are blended into an approachable, conversational style rather than a rigid protocol. The aim is to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.

Alexsandro has three years of professional practice and holds BACP registration. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk, try things that might help, and adapt strategies to their routine.

People who are moving country, juggling multiple languages, or handling life transitions may find his multilingual offering useful. He encourages straightforward goals and practical habit changes that can fit into everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

The counsellor often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress and motivation by focusing on small, value-led steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his practice and looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connection and trust. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods feel most useful and adjust them as goals and needs become clearer. Collaboration means trying practical strategies and reviewing what helps over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy routine, reducing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. Because session formats are not listed here, please confirm the exact online options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy work with everyday life rather than forcing major schedule changes.
