About Alexandra

Alexandra (Sasha) King is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of practice. She welcomes conversations about relationship worries, addictions, grief, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Sasha uses straightforward, calm listening to help people talk through what feels overwhelming right now.

She offers a conversational style that aims to make space for difficult emotions. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding small, practical steps forward. Sasha draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new actions when those thoughts feel stuck.

Attachment-based ideas and client-centred work also shape her approach. That means paying attention to how early relationships affect present patterns and working at a pace the person sets. She helps with parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and identity concerns, including LGBT related matters.

Her background includes supporting people through trauma, addiction, and major life changes like divorce or bereavement. Sasha also brings experience with autism, ADHD, blended family dynamics and caregiver stress. Her aim is to help people build clearer communication, steadier coping, and greater clarity about next steps.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Alexandra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn to act in line with what matters to them rather than trying to fight every thought. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people change repeating habits in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-directive listening so the person leads the pace and topic of sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will talk with each person about what they want to change and which methods might help. Together they will try different ways of working and tweak the approach based on what feels useful and realistic for day-to-day life.

Check the session format options before booking to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a longer deep session when time allows. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and for maintaining continuity during life changes.
