Alexandra Vale

Alexandra Vale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has six years of professional experience helping people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem and attention and focus challenges. She encourages people to see themselves as experts in their own story and to build on existing strengths.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. She offers a calm space to talk about painful events, confusion about relationships, issues with concentration, and questions about self-worth.

Alexandra draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect current relationships, and on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the client's perspective central. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps identify and change thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.

People can expect a collaborative approach that mixes listening with practical tools. Conversations may include reflecting on past experiences, trying different ways of communicating, and learning strategies to manage panic or depressive moments. Alexandra aims to help people recognise patterns and take manageable steps towards change.

She works in English and practises within the United Kingdom. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site's booking process.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. In practical terms this can mean talking about patterns in close relationships, noticing emotional reactions, and trying small changes in how someone connects with others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions, so the counsellor listens carefully and follows the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then tailor sessions so the methods fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can sit alongside daily commitments. Some people prefer a shorter check-in or audio-first sessions when energy or bandwidth is limited. Because session formats are set by the therapist's current practice, confirm available options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
