Alexandra Vale
Relationship and trauma-focused counsellor
About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale helps people who are struggling with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and attention or focus problems such as ADHD. She welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Alexandra uses a warm, collaborative style that puts the client’s experience first.
She holds a BACP credential and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her approach treats the person not the problem.
Background and approach
Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the client and identifying small, realistic goals. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred work guides the pace so people feel heard and able to lead the focus of sessions.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where useful to spot unhelpful thinking and to build new ways of coping. For concerns like panic, mood changes, post-traumatic stress and eating or body image struggles, practical strategies are paired with emotional exploration. Alexandra also supports people dealing with betrayal, abandonment and issues around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures such as kink and BDSM.
Therapy can include short skills practice, talking through difficult memories and learning clearer ways to communicate. Alexandra aims to make therapy concrete, with steps you can try between sessions. She meets people where they are and works at a pace that feels safe.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in formats that fit modern life. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and a chance to agree goals and timings together.

How Alexandra’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape the way people relate now. It helps when trust, intimacy or repeated conflict are getting in the way of close connections. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead, helping people feel understood and able to set their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps to spot unhelpful thoughts and learn new coping skills for things like panic, low mood or intrusive memories.Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Alexandra will work with each person to weigh up needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that best fit their situation. The process may include blending approaches so emotional understanding and practical skill-building happen together.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using a range of formats. Video calls are good for a full face-to-face feeling and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing problem-solving and people who like writing things out. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions around work, family and daily life.
