About Alexsandro

Alexsandro Amaral is a registered psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health and relationship concerns. He works with stress, depression and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sexual and gender identity, as well as neurodiversity including ADHD and Autism. He also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy difficulties, anger and shame, life transitions, and challenges with concentration, memory, and focus.

His practice draws on an integrative, person-centred philosophy that treats each client as the expert on their own life and priorities. That approach is often combined with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, along with insights from transactional analysis and humanistic perspectives, to tailor care to individual needs. He aims to create an empowering, strengths-based environment that helps people build skills and resilience while exploring the meanings behind their experiences.

Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, he offers culturally aware support for clients from diverse backgrounds, including those living and working internationally. He is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and therapists in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Alexsandro draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build action-based skills to live in line with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and insights lead the pace of change, which is useful for building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Alexsandro works with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques as the work progresses so the therapy remains personally relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to receive consistent therapeutic support from wherever they are, accommodate different communication styles, and make it easier to fit sessions into busy or changing schedules.
