Alexandra (Sasha) King, BACP

Alexandra (Sasha) King is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people manage difficult life moments. She holds BACP registration and brings 11 years of experience offering calm, steady support. Sasha speaks English and Czech and sees clients in the United Kingdom.

Sasha works to make the room a place where people can speak honestly. She focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with major life changes.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. That means conversations that look at thoughts and behaviours, and also space to reflect on values, relationships and what matters most. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded rather than full of jargon.

Sasha has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, separation and divorce, and the stresses of caregiving. She also has experience with neurodiversity issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and with ADHD-related concerns. Her practice covers complications like co-morbidity, codependency and dissociation.

Sessions typically involve listening, gentle challenge and collaborative goal-setting. People leave with clearer next steps and simple strategies to try between appointments. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It is useful for low mood, anxiety and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and can help with intimacy, trust and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different ways of working. Together they will choose methods and experiment to see what helps most in everyday life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions fit more easily around work and family commitments and allow more consistent contact when travel or time is limited. Online work can make it simpler to use short check-ins, focus on skill practice between meetings and keep a steady therapeutic rhythm while juggling daily responsibilities.
