About Alexsandro

Alexsandro Amaral helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, addiction and relationship or intimacy concerns. He supports clients facing trauma, ADHD and neurodiversity-related challenges. He also works with those dealing with self-esteem issues and life changes.

Alexsandro trained as a psychotherapist and holds BACP registration. He has three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. He aims to make sessions practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn in day-to-day life.

His style is person-centred and collaborative. Sessions start with listening to what matters most. He then helps people spot patterns, try small changes and build on their existing strengths.

He draws on a mix of methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Attachment-focused work and existential questions also inform how he approaches relationships and identity. He blends these approaches to suit each person rather than following a single formula.

Alexsandro pays attention to practical concerns like concentration, memory and focus. He supports people navigating gender identity, sexuality and cultural transition when those topics are relevant. The aim is to help people find clearer choices and more workable ways of coping.

To begin, he invites people to describe the problems they most want to change and then builds a plan together. Sessions are straightforward and paced to match each person’s needs and life circumstances.

Approaches that suit online work and everyday life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It helps with anxiety, anger and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns by focusing on values and small committed steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present reactions. It is useful for people wanting to understand connection, communication and patterns that recur in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Confirm the session formats available before booking so arrangements match what is helpful in daily life.
