Alexsandro Amaral helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions and issues related to identity and relationships. He also supports those facing trauma, ADHD, intimacy and self-esteem concerns. He works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and practices from the United Kingdom.

He keeps sessions simple and conversational. The aim is to make space to talk about what feels hard and to find practical steps that fit daily life. He treats each person as the expert on their own experience and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

His approach draws on client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural tools and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That mix is used to notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and clarify what matters most to the person. Attachment-based thinking also informs his work when relationship and connection issues are central.

Over three years of practice have included supporting people with ADHD, autism traits, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. He also works with people facing grief, separation, communication problems, and compulsive patterns such as drug or alcohol use. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person.

Practical tasks, short exercises and talking work together depending on what the client wants. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values to guide small steps forward. It is useful for stress, anxiety and patterns that keep someone feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses; it can be especially helpful when trust, abandonment or intimacy issues are central.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the mix of conversation, exercises and homework as needed. That exploration is practical and paced to what the person can manage.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and some exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when writing helps thinking. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, travel or different time zones, and make it possible to continue therapy from other locations while keeping a steady rhythm of support.
