Alexsandro Amaral, BACP

Alexsandro Amaral helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. He works with issues related to ADHD, sexual and gender identity, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, and coping with big life changes. He speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese which can help when language and culture matter in therapy.

He uses a person-centred style that puts the client's experience first. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build on strengths while making small, practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are part of his approach when they suit a person's goals.

Attachment-based ideas are used to understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behaviour. Existential themes are also explored when someone is asking questions about meaning, purpose or identity. The therapist adapts methods to match what each person needs rather than following a single model.

Alexsandro has three years of professional practice experience and holds BACP as a credential. He has supported people with neurodiversity concerns such as ADHD and autism, and with areas like body image, codependency, and addiction. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for day-to-day life.

To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. The focus is on clear, understandable steps so people can try things between appointments and notice real differences.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and motivation by teaching practical exercises people can try between sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflects what is said, supporting people to find their own answers to relationship, identity and self-esteem concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current behaviour. It can be useful for intimacy, communication and problems rooted in early relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The emphasis is on practical access that helps therapy fit around work, family and daily routines.
