About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem and attention challenges such as ADHD. She has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Alexandra approaches each person with respect for their story and strengths.
She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and practical. In sessions she uses a blend of attachment-focused work, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Background and approach
That mix helps people understand patterns in their relationships, notice unhelpful thoughts, and practise different ways of responding. Alexandra works at a pace set by the person she is supporting and prioritises clear, everyday language. She often helps people rebuild confidence after abuse or betrayal, and supports those dealing with panic, mood difficulties or post-traumatic stress.
Practical strategies and short exercises are used alongside talking so that changes can be noticed between sessions. Alexandra also offers space to discuss sexual identity, kink and alternative sex culture with no judgement. Sessions can focus on communication skills, coping after disasters, eating and body image concerns, or navigating fatherhood and guilt.
Her approach is collaborative: she and the person create goals together and review progress as therapy continues. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The aim is to make support fit around everyday life while keeping the focus on practical steps and personal strengths.

How approaches like attachment and CBT work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and recent relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. Online work can help people spot those patterns and practise new ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, with the therapist offering empathic listening and acceptance to help people make sense of their experience and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms such as panic or low mood.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapy process. Alexandra works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, preferences and everyday life. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy or unpredictable schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing, and text-based messaging helps maintain continuity between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caring responsibilities or travel without losing focus on practical change.
