About Alexandra

Alexandra Vale supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and ADHD-related focus challenges. She presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and encourages people to speak about what matters to them. Alexandra says taking the first step can take courage and she aims to make that step easier.

She works from a client-centred stance, which means conversations start with the person's priorities and pace. Sessions aim to draw out strengths and build on what already helps, rather than imposing a fixed plan. Alexandra also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, and she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking and panic symptoms.

Her experience spans six years in the United Kingdom and she holds BACP registration. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style. In sessions she helps people talk through communication problems, trust and intimacy issues, body image concerns, and difficulties linked to past abuse.

People often come for help after infidelity, during recovery from domestic violence, or when panic attacks and mood shifts make daily life harder. Alexandra can support work on guilt, shame, parenting pressures such as fatherhood issues, and exploring identity within alternative sex cultures including kink and BDSM.

She aims to collaborate on realistic goals and uses straightforward tools so progress is clear. If someone wants to try therapy with her, they complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their situation.

How Alexandra’s approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's priorities first and emphasizes being heard. It helps people who need a space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. It can help when people notice repeating problems in trust, closeness or communication.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is often used for panic, low mood and for managing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs, and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to meet without travelling. If you prefer different session lengths or quieter check-ins, confirm the current session options before booking. The platform uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, which can help people plan ongoing work. If you are unsure which approach or format suits you, a short questionnaire and an initial session can clarify the best way forward.
