Alexandra Vale helps people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem and attention challenges such as ADHD. She writes plainly and works to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Alexandra holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and has six years of professional experience supporting people with these concerns.

Her approach treats the person as the expert in their life.

Background and approach

She listens for strengths and practical routines that can be built on. Sessions focus on clear, usable steps rather than long explanations. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through what matters to them.

Alexandra draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour. She uses client-centred techniques to follow each person’s priorities and CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, to try out different ways of thinking and acting when distress is present. These methods are used together to suit the issue at hand.

She has worked with issues such as abandonment and attachment problems, intimacy and kink-related worries, body image and eating concerns, communication breakdowns, infidelity, guilt and shame, and fatherhood questions. Alexandra also supports people coping with panic, mood difficulties, post-traumatic stress and the emotional impacts of disasters.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling happens according to therapist availability.

How Alexandra’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and coping. It helps when patterns of connection cause repeated pain or distance in important relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities, giving space to what matters most and helping people make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Alexandra will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and pace. Together they may try one method first or combine elements from different approaches depending on what is helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can fit around work, family and daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between appointments. These options make it easier to keep a steady schedule and try therapy in a way that fits your day.
