About Alexandra

Alexandra Vale works on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem and ADHD-related focus problems. She uses a person-centred way of working and draws on attachment and cognitive behavioural approaches. Alexandra is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional experience.

In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on what is causing distress now and on practical steps that can help. She aims for clear, short-term goals when appropriate, and will also spend time on how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour.

Alexandra uses elements of attachment-based work to look at how early bonds shape relationships and sense of self. She also uses client-centred methods, offering a collaborative, non-directive way of talking through problems. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where it helps to spot unhelpful thinking and try out new ways of coping.

She has supported people with abandonment and attachment issues, intimacy and alternative sex culture concerns including BDSM and kink, communication difficulties and infidelity. She also works on body image, eating and food-related worries, and fatherhood issues.

Other areas Alexandra has experience in include mood and panic symptoms, post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, coping with disaster, guilt and shame, life purpose and problems with concentration and memory linked to motivation and ADHD. She offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP.

How her approaches can work in online counselling

Alexandra uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current connections and self-worth; this can help with intimacy, abandonment and attachment concerns. Client-centred counselling provides a collaborative, person-led way of talking that helps when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical coping strategies, often useful for anxiety, panic symptoms and mood difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alexandra will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She discusses options openly and adapts the pace and focus as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant to what the person wants to change.

Session formats are not specified in the basic biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy while balancing work, childcare or other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these approaches effectively when sessions are arranged to suit the client’s everyday life.
