About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem difficulties. He also supports people dealing with anger, coping with life changes, and LGBT-related concerns.
Background and approach
Alexsandro works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. He uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first.
Sessions focus on listening, making sense of what feels stuck, and finding practical steps that fit day-to-day life. He draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person rather than a single formula.
In practice he often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment ideas, and elements of the Gottman Method where relationship patterns are relevant. That lets him offer tools for managing difficult thoughts, improving communication, and rebuilding connection when intimacy or trust has been damaged.
Alexsandro trained and works as a psychotherapist and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has three years of professional practice experience and has supported people with neurodiversity issues including ADHD and autism spectrum concerns.
People who choose him can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and a calm space to talk things through. Sessions can be adapted to cultural and language needs, with attention to how moving between countries or cultures affects wellbeing.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Gottman Method techniques focus on communication patterns and rebuilding connection. Online sessions can use these ideas to work on how people talk, manage conflict and restore intimacy through concrete exercises and guided conversations.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In an online setting this often means short experiential exercises, mindfulness practices and simple behavioural experiments to try between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. Working remotely can help people reflect on those patterns and practise new ways of relating in real time with support from the therapist.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that seem to fit. Together you can adjust the focus as you learn what helps most.
Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging works for short reflections and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or different time zones, while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
