Alexsandro Amaral, BACP

Alexsandro Amaral is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and trauma. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, neurodiversity, body image and LGBTQ+ concerns. He works in English, Spanish and Portuguese to reach a wider range of people across the United Kingdom and beyond.

He practices in a person-centred way that keeps the client’s experience at the centre. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him. Conversations tend to be practical, with tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful.

Alexsandro values working collaboratively. He listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people try new ways of handling difficult thoughts and feelings. For issues linked to attachment, abandonment or relationship patterns he uses approaches that look at past and present connections to improve current interactions.

He has three years of professional practice and holds BACP as his listed credential. That background informs a calm, non-judgemental style aimed at helping people gain clearer focus and greater self-understanding. He often supports people navigating life changes, communication problems and challenges tied to intimacy or sexual concerns.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Alexsandro aims to make therapy fit into everyday life while helping people build concrete coping skills and new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How therapy styles shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and struggles around intimacy and self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repeated cycles in close relationships. It is useful for intimacy, abandonment and communication problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective and pace, offering a non-judgemental space where someone can clarify their needs and goals.

Finding the right approach is usually part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and use a collaborative process to decide what to try first. Goals, personal preferences and how someone responds in sessions guide which methods are emphasised over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversational techniques for online work to address stress, relationships, intimacy concerns and focus problems without changing the core aims of therapy.
