About Alejandra
Counsellor Alejandra Danta is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people around addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Alejandra uses a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred principles and EMDR. That means she can focus on thoughts and behaviour, on past attachment patterns, or on trauma processing where appropriate.
In sessions she helps people look at patterns that keep causing pain. She talks through relationship dynamics, communication problems and issues tied to abandonment or attachment. She also works with addictions, codependency and with people coping with chronic illness, bereavement or major life change.
Alejandra seeks practical steps as well as talking. That can involve learning new ways to notice thoughts and act on chosen values, practising communication skills, or using structured trauma-focused techniques when suitable. The work is described simply and in everyday language so clients know what to expect.
She combines clinical approaches with a focus on what the client brings to the room. Before booking, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so first sessions can focus on immediate concerns and goals. This helps decide which methods to use next.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Alejandra commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing in her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with addiction, anxiety and problems that repeat over time. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that aims to reduce the impact of painful memories through structured processing and can be used for past abuse or trauma.The choice of method is worked out together. The therapist will ask about goals, symptoms and what has or has not helped before. From that she and the client decide if ACT, EMDR or attachment-focused conversations are the best next step, and they review progress as they go.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches need longer sessions while others suit a regular weekly meeting, so practical arrangements are agreed at the start.
