About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD and autism, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem problems, and anger. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and Portuguese for people living in the UK or abroad.
He uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s perspective central. That means conversations focus on the difficulties you bring and on practical next steps. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as tools to spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
In sessions he pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that affect how people connect and manage strong feelings. For someone struggling with anger, this can mean looking at triggers, bodily cues, and safety strategies to calm down before reacting. The work is conversational and goal-orientated rather than overly technical.
Alexsandro also supports people with neurodiversity-related concerns such as focus, memory and organisation. He aims to offer straightforward techniques that fit daily life, like short practical exercises and clearer communication strategies for tense interactions.
He has experience helping people deal with life changes, breakups, codependency, and issues around gender and sexuality. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange an initial session to agree priorities and next steps.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Alexsandro often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, which can be useful for reducing reactive anger. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and practising small behavioural changes to test new responses.He also pays attention to attachment-based ideas, looking at how past relationships shape current responses to stress and conflict. That focus can help when anger shows up in close relationships or when trust and boundary issues are involved. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist will work with the client to decide what fits their goals and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access multilingual support in English, Spanish or Portuguese. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what will work best for scheduling and session length during the initial match and first meeting.
