About Alexsandro
Alexsandro Amaral helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and issues related to LGBT life. He also supports people facing trauma, ADHD and neurodiversity, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem and big life changes. Alexsandro works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and practises in the United Kingdom.
He brings three years of practice experience and uses an integrative, person-centred stance. Sessions focus on the client's priorities and strengths rather than fitting people into one model.
Background and approach
He adapts techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when they suit the person's goals. Alexsandro pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that shape how people connect and respond to stress. He also accompanies those dealing with addiction, body image, gender dysphoria, and challenges linked to autism or ADHD, helping to build clearer routines and coping strategies.
His work is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations are practical and aim to make day-to-day life easier. Tasks between sessions are sometimes suggested to try new ways of coping.
People who prefer support in Spanish or Portuguese can use those languages. He encourages anyone curious about therapy to check the Start Therapy process and the short questionnaire to match with him if it feels like a good fit.

How approaches like ACT and attachment work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems that feel stuck by encouraging flexible actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional reactions; it helps people notice patterns and practise different ways of relating to others and themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match techniques to the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions may draw on ACT, attachment ideas or person-centred conversation depending on what the client and therapist agree will help most.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to check in from whatever environment suits them. It can also let conversations continue across distances for those living abroad. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps to confirm how sessions will be arranged and what will work best for day-to-day life.
