About Alexsandro

Alexsandro Amaral is a registered psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with three years of professional practice and a BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He works with people facing stress, depression and anxiety as well as those seeking addictions support, help with trauma and abuse, and guidance around LGBTQ+ concerns. He has particular experience supporting neurodiverse clients, including people with ADHD and Autism, and specialises in difficulties with concentration, memory, and focus.

Drawing on an integrative, person-centred approach, Alexsandro blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with elements of Transactional Analysis and humanistic practice. He approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their own story best and that existing strengths can be a foundation for change. This perspective informs collaborative work on relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, anger, coping with life changes, and a wide range of additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns.

Alexsandro offers support in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, enabling culturally aware care for people living and working across different countries. He aims to create an empowering, respectful space that recognises the courage involved in reaching out for support and in making meaningful changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and encourages actions that align with those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, working to improve relationship dynamics, intimacy, and issues tied to abandonment or attachment injuries. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and growth, which can be helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alexsandro treats this as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to identify approaches that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue work from different locations, and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic collaboration with licensed professionals.
