About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems and difficulties with anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.

Alejandra uses a blend of approaches to help people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. In sessions she talks through current problems, looks at how past experiences affect present reactions, and helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings. She names and works with attachment issues and trust difficulties when relationships feel strained.

Her background includes work with alcohol and substance dependence and trauma-focused methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at thoughts, behaviours and values. This mix is used to address issues like grief, chronic health impacts, body image and communication problems.

Alejandra commonly supports people with adoption and foster care histories, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress and challenges related to ageing or chronic illness. She also addresses personality-related struggles such as avoidant and antisocial patterns when these affect daily life and relationships.

People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative process. The focus is practical and grounded: notice what changes in everyday life, try different coping strategies, and discuss what helps and what does not. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Alejandra commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and committing to small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, cut time spent travelling, or allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. These practical benefits help people keep therapy manageable while they test ways of coping and make small changes in everyday life.
