About Alexsandro

Alexsandro Amaral works on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD and relationship and intimacy-related concerns using an integrative person-centred approach. He is a BACP member with three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English, Spanish and Portuguese and accepts international clients.

He focuses on practical ways to manage concentration, memory and focus problems often linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. In sessions he draws on client-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He aims to help people notice patterns that cause difficulty and try small, manageable changes in day-to-day life.

Alexsandro pays attention to attachment and intimacy issues, including abandonment, codependency and communication problems. He also works with people who have concerns around body image, gender dysphoria, BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and those dealing with divorce, separation or forgiveness. He uses straightforward discussion and reflective listening to clarify what matters most to each person.

He has experience supporting people with drug and alcohol addiction and with anger or control issues. Sessions include talking through coping strategies, practical problem solving and exploring values that guide decisions. His multilingual skills often help clients who are living or working across countries.

People meet him for focused short-term work or more open-ended counselling depending on need. He asks about immediate concerns, current routines and what the client hopes to change, then suggests ways to try different approaches and review what helps.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters and take small actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and motivation problems by linking choices to personal priorities.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions. This approach helps with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and communication difficulties by identifying patterns and trying different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflection so the person leads the pace and focus of sessions. It supports self-exploration and decision-making when someone is unsure which problem to tackle first.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will help identify which methods fit the client's goals and preferences, and they will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed package.

Confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling around work or study, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to use video or phone depending on what works best for the client. Online work can make regular sessions easier to keep in a busy week without promising a specific format.
