About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on concerns such as addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.

Alejandra combines approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises to make ideas usable between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable reactions, not quick fixes.

People come to her for help with communication problems, commitment worries, codependency and struggles around abandonment or attachment. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image concerns and the impact of adoption or foster care experiences. Work often looks at how past experiences shape current responses, especially around trust and anger.

In sessions Alejandra focuses on what the person wants to change. That might mean practising new ways to respond to stress, using imagery or movement-based EMDR techniques for traumatic memories, or learning ACT skills to handle painful thoughts without escalating. She encourages small, repeatable steps that fit into everyday life.

Practical matters such as cost and scheduling follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Alejandra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still take meaningful action. ACT teaches skills for accepting uncomfortable feelings while focusing on chosen values and practical steps.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current behaviour. This approach helps identify patterns around trust, closeness and anger so they can be understood and changed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alejandra will discuss different methods and help decide which fits best with a person’s goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can shift as sessions progress.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that fit around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and EMDR processes to work in remote sessions when appropriate.
