About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral is a BACP-registered psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical practice. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and challenges tied to ADHD or neurodiversity. Sessions can also address trauma, abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
He uses a person-centred foundation and draws on a mix of methods to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are often part of the work. Attachment-based ideas and existential themes can also shape the conversations when relevant.
In sessions he focuses on practical ways to notice patterns, try different responses, and build everyday routines that reduce reactivity. He pays attention to concentration, memory and focus difficulties and adapts how he works for those challenges. Discussions are straightforward and aimed at helping people apply what they learn between sessions.
Alexsandro speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish, which helps when cultural context or language matters. He has experience supporting people navigating life abroad and LGBTQ+ related issues. His approach aims to respect each person’s story while looking for realistic ways to handle anger, frustration and ongoing stress.
People start by describing what’s most concerning and then set simple, achievable goals. Over a few sessions they try practical strategies, check what works, and adjust the approach if needed.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anger that keeps recurring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete techniques to shift patterns that feed frustration or anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early relationship patterns and how they shape current reactions, which can be useful when anger is tied to trust, abandonment or intimacy worries.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This means sessions can move between practical skill-building and deeper exploration depending on what helps most.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins or longer standard sessions when needed. It also lets people access a therapist who speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese even if they live elsewhere. Practical arrangements such as timing, session length and frequency are agreed together at the start.
