About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. He also supports issues around intimacy, relationships, anger, self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Alexsandro presents as approachable and practical, focusing on what people can do now to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
He uses a person-centred style that puts the client’s perspective first. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to each person.
Background and approach
Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are offered when they fit the client’s goals and preferences. Alexsandro has three years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which he keeps visible on his professional profile. He works in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and is comfortable supporting people who live outside the UK.
In sessions he pays close attention to attachment patterns and how early experiences shape present relationships. This can help when people encounter repeated difficulties with trust, abandonment or closeness. He also works with concerns linked to body image, codependency, kink and alternative sexual cultures in a non-judgemental way.
Therapy with him typically involves setting clear, manageable goals and trying small changes between sessions. People can expect straightforward discussion about coping strategies, practical exercises and ways to build on personal strengths.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Alexsandro commonly draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding how past harm affects present reactions and helps people build skills for feeling safer and more grounded. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating developed in early life and helps people change how they connect with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process may mean mixing approaches and adjusting over time as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction from anywhere with good internet. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, notes between sessions or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, travel or family life.
