About Alexsandro
BACP. Three years' experience. Alexsandro Amaral works with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also focuses on abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, BDSM and kink topics, body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame.
Alexsandro uses an integrative, person-centred style. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches, and elements of Existential work. Sessions tend to foreground the client's experience and practical steps for managing attention, mood and relationships.
He supports people who struggle with concentration, memory and focus by working on strategies and routines that fit daily life. For anxiety and stress he combines thought-focused techniques with values-based steps from ACT. For relationship and intimacy concerns he considers attachment patterns and communication habits.
Alexsandro speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese, and offers ways of working that acknowledge cultural differences and the stresses of living or working abroad. He presents himself as a counsellor who prefers clear, direct conversation and practical tasks alongside reflective discussion.
To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that align with those values while also learning skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress and challenges around motivation and focus.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication. It can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and managing anger tied to attachment concerns.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and offering a non-directive stance that supports self-understanding; it can suit people who want reflective, person-led counselling.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals, preferences and practical needs and will suggest methods that fit the person, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and cut travel time for those living further away. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to help people fit counselling into everyday life, while keeping therapy focused on the issues and techniques that matter to the client.
