About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and international clients are accepted.

Alejandra uses a mix of talking therapies to help people identify repeating patterns and make clearer choices. She uses practical exercises and conversational reflection to help clients notice how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. Clients can expect direct discussion of triggers and coping options rather than medical labels or long theoretical explanations.

When relationships are strained after separation, new partnerships or blended households, she helps people untangle loyalties and communication breakdowns. Work often focuses on rebuilding trust and improving how people ask for what they need. The approach is straightforward and aims for small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

Alejandra also offers support for trauma-related reactions and addiction-related concerns using evidence-informed methods. Her sessions include paced processing and skills to manage distressing memories and urges. She will discuss choices about which methods to try and how to move forward step by step.

Clients describe practical ideas and homework to try between sessions, and sessions are usually conversational with focused exercises. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the online booking flow.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Alejandra draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small values-based actions. ACT focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more workable rather than arguing with every thought.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape expectations in adult bonds. This work often helps clarify patterns around trust, closeness and loyalty that come up in blended households and stepfamily dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will agree what to try first, revisiting choices as things change. That collaborative decision-making helps match methods to the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in this biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can support these arrangements and will explain the practical steps during the initial matching and booking process.
