Alejandra Danta, BACP

Alejandra Danta is a counsellor who focuses on intimacy-related issues and sexual dysfunction alongside other concerns such as addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and anger. She works in English and Spanish and draws on a mix of approaches to help people understand what is happening and find practical ways forward. Her registration with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) is listed as a professional credential.

Alejandra offers short, clear conversations where the person’s goals set the pace. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people set values-driven goals. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections.

Her style is collaborative and warm. Sessions aim to uncover patterns, practise new ways of communicating, and build small, manageable steps for change. She also uses elements of eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing when trauma work is needed, always introducing these methods at a client’s request.

Clients can expect practical tools alongside talking therapy. Alejandra helps people with coping skills for anxiety, strategies for managing substance-related urges, and ways to repair trust and improve intimacy. She pays attention to each person’s life circumstances and adapts work to fit those needs.

Over three years she has worked across a range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Her approach is to walk alongside people as they try out new ways of being and relating.

How therapies like ACT, CBT and attachment work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, relationship hesitations and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills for managing mood, stress and unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling closer to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life demands and then decide together which methods to try first. Trials and feedback help shape the plan so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or enabling sessions when being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and trauma-focused techniques like EMDR to remote settings when appropriate, while keeping the focus on what helps each person move toward their goals.
