About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying guilt or shame alongside relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, and attention difficulties. Alexandra focuses on practical conversations that help clients clarify what matters to them and what gets in the way.
She starts by listening to each person’s story and recognising existing strengths. Sessions are client-centred and collaborative. Alexandra draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes.
In therapy she helps people talk through feelings tied to abandonment, body image, infidelity, and sexual culture such as BDSM and kink. She also supports those dealing with panic, mood shifts, eating and food-related concerns, and post-traumatic stress. Conversations focus on real-life problems rather than abstract theories.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She invites clients to notice thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and then test new ways of responding. Practical steps and gentle experiments are offered where helpful, along with time to reflect on what those steps mean.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alexandra uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness, or fears of abandonment affect present relationships. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, reflection, and the client’s own goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try small, practical changes that can alter mood and behaviour.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra treats this as a collaborative task and will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She explains options and adjusts plans as the work progresses so clients can see what helps in practice.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online session types before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busier days, or make it easier to focus without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use these practical advantages to fit therapy into everyday life.
