About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health, and with people facing relationship problems, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, concentration and focus concerns such as ADHD, and people thinking about life purpose.
Alexandra works from the view that clients know their own stories best. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about what is happening now and what feels important to change. She listens for patterns in relationships, attachment and communication that keep problems repeating, and helps people try different ways of responding.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas about how early bonds influence current relationships. She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours.
Typical topics include abandonment, shame and guilt, body image and eating concerns, infidelity, fatherhood questions, and sexual diversity including BDSM and kink culture. She also works with the effects of trauma, panic attacks and mood difficulties, and with practical coping after disasters.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Alexandra offers a step-by-step way of trying new approaches, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as things change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns in how people attach and respond, which helps with intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, offering space to talk things through and decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and tests practical behaviour changes to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Alexandra treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options in early sessions. She helps clients weigh what feels most useful given their goals, symptoms and life context, and she adjusts methods as things change.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy lives, as it can reduce travel and make it easier to schedule a short check-in around work or caring commitments. Other practical benefits include being able to choose quieter surroundings, use video or audio options to match comfort, and focus on homework or written exercises between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss the practical setup when you book so you know what to expect.
