Alexandra Vale, BACP

Alexandra Vale helps people who are struggling with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and focus difficulties such as ADHD. She explains things simply and aims to make the first steps easier for anyone feeling unsure about reaching out. Alexandra uses everyday language so people can understand what to expect in sessions.

She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms like low confidence, panic or concentration trouble. Conversations can cover the emotional impact of past harm, cycles in relationships, and ways to reconnect with self and others.

Alexandra draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that keep the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new coping strategies.

Her professional credential is BACP, which is listed as her registration in the United Kingdom. Alexandra has six years of work experience supporting people with mood difficulties, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and sexual culture concerns such as kink and BDSM.

Sessions commonly address communication problems, eating and body image worries, feelings of guilt or abandonment, and questions about life purpose and fatherhood. Alexandra encourages small practical steps and clear goals so progress can be noticed between meetings.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships influence current feelings and behaviour, and helps people notice patterns that affect closeness and trust. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person’s experience central, with the counsellor following the client’s pace and priorities to build understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to use. That way the plan fits what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep to shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow focused conversations about relationships, trauma responses and attention strategies in a way that suits daily life.
