Alexsandro Amaral, BACP
Alexsandro Amaral helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and relationship or intimacy concerns.
About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports those facing issues tied to ADHD, self-esteem, anger, grieving life changes, and LGBT-related matters. Alexsandro works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and offers short, clear sessions that focus on what matters to each person.
He uses a person-centred style that starts by listening to a client’s story. From there he blends practical techniques such as cognitive behavioural methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build small, usable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on daily life - sleep, routines, relationships and how thoughts affect actions. Alexsandro has three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership. He often helps people who struggle with concentration, memory and focus, and those navigating neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism.
He pays attention to how attachment and past losses affect present choices. Work with him tends to be collaborative. He aims to identify values and goals, then practises skills together that fit each person’s pace.
The emphasis is on practical steps people can try between sessions. He also supports concerns around body image, codependency, communication problems, commitment and separation, substance misuse, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame. Sessions are aimed at finding clearer ways to cope and to make choices that feel more true to the person.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then try methods that seem to fit. Sessions are collaborative - you and the therapist decide together which tools to practise and which aims to prioritise over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study or travel.
