About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and the effects of trauma. He works with clients on issues such as ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing LGBT matters, gender dysphoria and a range of identity and sexual expression topics.
His approach is person-centred and collaborative. He sees the person in front of him as the expert on their story and focuses on building practical skills and clearer thinking.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to strengthen day-to-day coping, improve communication and rebuild confidence in small steps. Alexsandro blends several approaches to match what each person needs. He commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work and client-centred listening.
These methods are used to address unhelpful thinking, difficult emotions and relationship patterns. He has three years of professional practice and holds BACP registration, which is noted in his credentials as supplied. He offers sessions in English, Spanish and Portuguese to reflect diverse backgrounds and language needs.
People connect with him for focused support on specific problems like concentration or addiction. He aims to create a calm space for honest conversation and practical planning. Work typically combines short-term strategies with longer-term reflection to help clients move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms and build new habits. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety and problematic patterns of thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit each person. That process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches over time to suit changing needs.
Online therapy lets people connect in ways that fit their life. Video calls are good for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, travel or family commitments and provide flexible ways to continue progress between meetings.
