About Alexandra
Alexandra Vale helps people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem and attention challenges such as ADHD. She uses an open, straightforward style and invites clients to bring the problems that matter most to them. Alexandra works from the view that each person knows their story best and already carries strengths that can be built on.
In sessions she keeps the focus practical and collaborative. Conversations aim to clarify patterns, improve communication and rebuild confidence.
Background and approach
She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. Alexandra also pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current responses. Her approach is centred on the person in front of her.
She listens for what is working and what gets in the way, then helps people experiment with small changes. Work might include setting clear goals, trying different ways of relating, or practising new coping steps between sessions. Alexandra has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is noted exactly as supplied.
That background informs her practical, down-to-earth way of working and her interest in relationship and trauma-related themes. People seeking help for issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, eating concerns, body image, infidelity, guilt and shame, or difficulties tied to fatherhood often find the focus here is on clear, manageable steps.
The initial contacts are kept simple: a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment to agree goals.

How Alexandra works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of sessions. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathic listening, and supports self-directed change and clearer decision-making.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is useful for working on panic, low mood, unhelpful thinking and setting practical steps to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexandra treats this as a joint task - she listens to concerns, reviews goals and suggests routes to try. Together the therapist and client agree what fits best and adjust the plan as they go.
Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support steady progress while adapting methods to suit the person's everyday routine.
