About Alejandra
Alejandra Danta offers direct, practical support for people facing addiction, trauma, relationship strains and intimacy issues. She aims to help clients feel understood and find clearer ways to cope. Her approach is person-centred and focused on what matters to the individual.
Alejandra works in English and Spanish and has three years of counselling experience. She holds BACP registration which means she follows the professional standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
In sessions she blends several methods to match each person's needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps. Cognitive tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours.
For people affected by past trauma, Alejandra uses EMDR techniques to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. Attachment-based ideas also inform her work, helping clients understand how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness with others. Her brief is practical.
She listens, asks clear questions and suggests simple exercises that can be used between sessions. Conversations can include exploring patterns, practising new ways to respond, and building skills to manage anger, communication problems or addictive urges. Clients will find a calm, respectful tone and an emphasis on collaboration.
Sessions are offered online in several formats to fit different needs and schedules. The goal is steady progress towards clearer choices and better daily functioning.

Sessions & fees
How Alejandra’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It often includes simple exercises to notice thoughts and commit to valued actions, which work well in short online tasks and between-session activities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. Online sessions can include practical worksheets, behavioural experiments and focused problem solving to reduce anxiety, anger or addictive urges.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the emotional power of traumatic memories. When offered online, EMDR techniques are adapted so that people can process memories while working with the therapist by phone or video.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. This means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on progress and preference.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you meet face to face from different locations, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and text or live chat is useful for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
