Alexsandro takes a straightforward, person-centred approach. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical steps that feel achievable. Sessions aim to make daily life easier - improving concentration, managing emotions and finding better ways to cope with change.
How Alexsandro works
He draws on a mix of methods to suit the person in front of him. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to act in line with their values even when feelings are difficult.
Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationships affect current behaviour and intimacy. In session Alexsandro aims for clear, calm conversation. He listens, reflects and checks that suggested changes fit the person’s life.
Goals are set together and progress is reviewed in simple terms. With three years of professional practice, he combines direct, practical work with empathy. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership is listed as BACP.
People who speak Spanish or Portuguese can be supported in those languages.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match what matters to them. This can help with anxiety low mood and difficulties accepting changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to try new ways of coping; it is often useful for stress anxiety and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people understand and change how they relate to others and themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and life. If one approach doesn’t suit, adjustments are made together so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online work is offered via video calls phone sessions live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit brief check-ins. Live chat or messaging can be used for short updates or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on clear, goal-focused sessions led by a registered or accredited professional.
