About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are coping with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and attention and focus difficulties. She encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to build on what already works for them.
Her approach is straightforward and warm. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are practical and aimed at making everyday life easier.
Alexandra has six years of professional experience in the UK and holds BACP accreditation. She draws on this background when helping people process painful events and rebuild trust in themselves. She aims to make space for difficult feelings while keeping discussion clear and focused.
People come to her for a wide range of issues including abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also works with matters such as domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, infidelity, and panic attacks.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practises techniques they can use between sessions. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits the client's routine.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It can be useful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment difficulties, intimacy concerns and trust after trauma. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, offering a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behaviour and try simpler ways of responding to panic, low mood or unhelpful thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust based on what helps most. This means therapy is a collaborative process where the client's needs and preferences shape the plan.
If you are considering online therapy, check the specific session options before booking. The practical benefits can include fitting sessions around work or family routines, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-in conversations when that suits your day. Online sessions also make it easier to practise techniques in your usual environment and to keep therapy consistent when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh these practicalities when you start.
