Understanding, practical psychotherapy
About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and relationship or intimacy difficulties. He also supports concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. He works with issues related to LGBT identity, gender dysphoria and a wide range of attachment and abandonment worries.
Alexsandro uses a straightforward, person-centred style. He treats the person, not just the problem, and aims to build a practical plan together. Sessions are kept simple and focused so people can use what they learn between meetings.
Background and approach
His approach blends several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas may be drawn on to help with thoughts, values and close relationships. He adapts techniques to each person rather than following one fixed model.
Alexsandro holds BACP registration, which is listed as his professional credential. He has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and can meet people in English, Spanish or Portuguese. He works with people who face neurodiversity-related challenges, including ADHD and autism, and those dealing with addiction or trauma.
People can expect calm, clear conversations that aim to improve daily coping and build stronger emotional skills. The focus is practical: reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and find ways to stay connected to what matters. Alexsandro aims to make therapy understandable and actionable for busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. It focuses on values and on learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings instead of avoiding them.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how these affect current trust and intimacy. It helps people recognise those patterns and practise new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and noting what helps most.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from seeing facial expression. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, travel or other commitments.
