About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale helps people who are struggling with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem and difficulties with focus such as ADHD. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Alexandra is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
She works from the view that each person is the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on the client's experience and strengths, and on making small, practical changes that fit everyday life.
How Alexandra works
Conversations are straightforward and paced to what the client needs. Alexandra draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and close relationships shape current patterns. She uses Client-Centred techniques to listen without judging and to help people feel heard.
She also applies elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping clients identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. In sessions she helps people unpack issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and the emotional fallout from infidelity or domestic violence. She also supports those facing body image concerns, eating-related problems, panic attacks, mood difficulties and post-traumatic stress.
Practical matters such as communication problems, fatherhood questions, and managing the impact of disasters are also part of her work. Alexandra aims to help people build confidence, improve concentration and find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now; it helps when patterns of closeness or distance cause pain. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and can make choices from a steadier place. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful ways of thinking and acting.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alexandra will work together with the client to choose or blend approaches based on their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative step makes it easier to test what helps and to adjust as things change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make therapy more adaptable to different schedules and comfort levels, while still allowing therapists and clients to work steadily on relationships, trauma recovery and day-to-day coping.
