About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta is a counsellor with three years of professional practice who helps people dealing with anger, addiction and relationship strain. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Her approach aims to make difficult conversations straightforward and manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She draws on a mix of accepted therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches are used together to help people notice patterns, build new coping choices and process painful memories when needed. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than technical language.

Alejandra holds BACP, which is shown exactly as provided. She explains therapeutic options in plain terms so people can decide what feels right. The emphasis is on collaboration – clients set the priorities and the work follows their goals.

In sessions she pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and emotions. That can include work on intimacy, communication problems, abandonment issues and codependency alongside trauma and addiction concerns. She aims to help people feel more in control of their reactions and better able to manage everyday pressures.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. People can expect a calm space to talk, steps to try between sessions, and a focus on small, realistic changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when anger or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour and practising small changes that reduce distress and improve relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process painful memories and reduce their emotional hold; it can be helpful for trauma-related anger or distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as therapy progresses, with techniques added or removed based on how helpful they feel.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep momentum between sessions by practising tools from home or another routine setting. Registered or accredited professionals will help decide which ways of meeting suit each person's life and goals.
