About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and questions around gender and sexual identity. He also supports people coping with ADHD, relationship and intimacy problems, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and has three years of practice experience.
He uses a person-centred stance that treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can make a difference. Conversations aim to clarify values, improve day-to-day coping, and rebuild trust in decision-making. Alexsandro draws on a mix of approaches depending on the issue.
He uses Existential ideas to tackle meaning and life direction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work with difficult thoughts and feelings, and attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships affect behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when clients want tools for unhelpful thoughts and habits. His practice emphasises clear communication and a calm, non-judgemental manner.
He aims to make sessions feel straightforward and focused rather than overwhelming. Work can include conversational exploration, practical exercises, and homework when useful. People often choose him when they want support that recognises cultural background and multilingual needs.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process that adapts to each person’s priorities and pace.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, purpose and life direction. It supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by choices, or unsure about what matters to them in life and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action towards chosen values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, low mood and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It is useful for people wanting to change patterns in intimacy, communication, trust and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the client’s goals, preferences and life context and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as needed rather than fixed from the start.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suits people who prefer typing or need brief, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and travel while keeping the focus on clear, goal-oriented support.
