Alexandra Vale

Alexandra Vale is a counsellor with six years' experience helping people with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and attention difficulties. She works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and already has strengths they can use to move forward. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who may be anxious about starting therapy.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on what matters most now - improving communication, managing panic or mood symptoms, addressing body image and eating concerns, or working through past hurt. She listens carefully and helps clients try new ways of understanding themselves and their reactions.

Alexandra draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred techniques to keep the person’s goals front and centre during sessions. Cognitive behavioural methods are used where thinking patterns and behaviours are getting in the way of day-to-day life.

She has experience with issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, infidelity, and domestic violence. Alexandra also supports people dealing with BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture concerns in a non-judgemental way. Her work extends to practical struggles like concentration, memory and fatherhood issues.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Alexandra uses a matching and scheduling process to get started, and sessions are arranged according to availability.

How Alexandra’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps when patterns of clinging, avoidance or fear of abandonment affect current relationships and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s agenda, which can help people feel understood and more able to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce panic, low mood or problematic habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra treats this as a collaborative process and will help the client decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches as needed, with the client’s comfort and aims guiding the plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or family, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and fewer travel demands. If you are considering sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are run. The focus is on fitting therapy into everyday life and helping people make steady progress without adding extra burden.
